The sander has centralized controls that allow the user to access all the needed buttons on one simple panel for more convenience. The variable speed feed belt allows the user to accurately dial in the exact feed speed to best suit each project and work environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatured is a special digital readout control. This element is especially helpful because it will show the exact thickness of the finished piece or will allow the user to preset exactly what thickness they would prefer the finished piece to be. The sander also includes a unique measuring device, the auto thicknesser, that will capture the piece of wood to give the user an exact measurement of the starting thickness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Powermatic 43\" Wide Belt Sander has an air-eye system which controls the oscillation for the 43\" x 75\" sanding belt. This prevents the belt from running off the end of the drums and uses the sanding surface in a more uniform manner. This also ensures sanding lines will not be left on the workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 43\" wide belt sander also has a powerful three-motor system for maximum performance. The first motor system allows for maximum horsepower to feed the drive drums. A second, smaller motor, directly powers the VS feed belt and a third, smaller motor, powers the feed table up and down to the desired thickness automatically and with ease. For safety, the Sander has a disc brake, which slows the machine quickly and stops it instantly in the event of an emergency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentralized controls allow you to access all the needed buttons on one simple panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigital readout will show the user the exact thickness of the finished piece, or will allow you to preset exactly the thickness you prefer for the finished piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe auto thicknesser will capture the piece of wood to give the user the exact starting thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisc brake slows the machine quickly and will activate immediately to stop machine in an emergency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe pneumatic sensor system controls the sanding belt oscillation to prevent the belt from running off the ends of the drums, as well as use the sanding surface more uniformly without leaving sanding lines on the workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe three motor system allows for maximum horsepower to independently power the sanding drums, the variable speed feed, and the feed table movement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe variable speed feed belt allows you to accurately dial in the exact feed speed to best suit your project\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\n.tg  {border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0;}\n.tg td{border-color:black;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;\n  overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;word-break:normal;}\n.tg th{border-color:black;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;\n  font-weight:normal;overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;word-break:normal;}\n.tg .tg-1wig{font-weight:bold;text-align:left;vertical-align:top}\n.tg .tg-0lax{text-align:left;vertical-align:top}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"tg\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003cth class=\"tg-1wig\"\u003eStyle (Type)\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003cth class=\"tg-0lax\"\u003eWide Belt Sander\u003c\/th\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd class=\"tg-1wig\"\u003eAir Required\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd class=\"tg-0lax\"\u003e75–80 CFM\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd class=\"tg-1wig\"\u003eMin.
