When it comes to commonplace tasks around the workshop, it’s so much faster and more satisfying to use a tool you can rely on to get the job done with no fuss efficiency, says Matt Sbizzirri, PPG Allied Products Specialist ANZ. “The MIRKA pneumatic belt sander is the latest tool to join the range and the design has been fine-tuned to a variety of everyday jobs in the panel beating workshop, from the grinding of weld marks and seams, to rust removal, paint removal and general grinding, particularly in tight to get at places.”
Whether you choose the 10mm width or the 13mm width, the MIRKA pneumatic belt sander comes with lots of thoughtful features that make it reliable and very easy to live with. This includes all the adjustments which are quick and hassle-free. For example, belt changes are a breeze, rather than a chore, thanks to an intelligently designed tension arm mechanism. Smoothly controlling the speed is simple courtesy of an easy to operate regulator that requires no tools. It’s the same for setting the angle of the arm because the hex key needed for making adjustments is cleverly integrated into the tool handle where it’s always at hand.
The innovative design of the MIRKA pneumatic belt sander extends to the health and comfort of the operator and even their co-workers. For example, the rubber-coated handle makes the tool comfortable to hold and prevents it from getting cold, while the low vibrations and low noise level make it much more pleasant to use than your average pneumatic tool. With the launch of its latest tool, MIRKA has also taken the opportunity to release a selection of Mirkon belts to fit. Available in P40, P60 and P80 grits and in 10mm and 13mm widths, these tough and durable belts are built to take plenty of tough treatment, making them perfectly suited to the aggressive machine sanding of metal.
A full range of MIRKA tools and abrasives are available at your authorised MIRKA distributor.
