Belt, disc, spindle & drum · review
A belt and disc on a cast iron base whose consumables are, to a millimeter, the ones the European machines here take.
The end of it The one machine on this shelf whose belts and discs the other half already stocks.
Every figure below names its source. Each one is a manufacturer specification read off the listing itself. The judgments are ours.
A sanding machine is bought once and fed for years.
So the size of the belt, the disc or the sleeve it takes is a bigger decision than the motor: a common size is sold everywhere and cheaply, and an odd one ties the machine to one supplier at whatever price that supplier charges.
The published Scheppach BTS800 page on this shelf is recommended on exactly that ground — it publishes both consumable sizes, and both are the common ones — and the abrasives shelf in this catalog is where the arithmetic lands.
Four by thirty-six inches is 101.6 by 914.4 millimeters. The published Scheppach machines on this shelf take 915 by 100.
Six inches of disc is 152.4 millimeters. They take 150.
Belt sanders tolerate a millimeter of length because the tension arm takes it up, and 100 against 101.6 of width is inside the tracking adjustment.
So the twelve-belt set on the abrasives shelf in this catalog feeds this machine as well. Across two halves of one shelf, that is an unusual thing to be able to say.
The belt tilts the whole way to vertical, and this is the only American machine here that publishes it.
Flat, a belt sander dresses a face. Vertical, the same belt squares an end or a mitre against the table — the work is held down instead of pushed along, which is a different and more accurate operation.
The published Scheppach BTS900 page on this shelf is credited for the same thing in its own words: a belt arm that swings from horizontal to vertical, doubling what it can hold.
Which is what keeps a small machine still.
The published BTS900 page names it as its first merit — cast-iron housing, which is what keeps a small machine still — and the reason is mass: a 4 × 36 belt at 3,600 rpm puts a vibration into the bench, and a casting absorbs what a folded steel pressing passes on.
About 495 watts going in, which is the same class as the 370 W the two published Scheppach machines state.
Both of their pages carry the same caveat, and it applies here: modest, a finishing machine rather than a stock-removal one.
It will take a band saw curve down to a line. It will not thickness a board.
No size, and no tilt angle.
Both published Scheppach pages on this shelf publish a table tilt — 45 degrees — and the BTS800 page names what it is for: bevels can be sanded square to a line.
The belt here tilts. Whether the table does, this page does not say.

To within a millimeter on both dimensions, on the published figures. This listing says 4 by 36 inches, which is 101.6 by 914.4 mm (36 in); the published Scheppach BTS800 and BTS900 pages on this shelf say 915 by 100 mm (3.94 in). Belt sanders are tolerant of a millimeter of length because the tension arm takes it up, and 100 against 101.6 mm (4 in) of width is within the tracking adjustment. The disc is the same story: 6 inches is 152.4 mm (6 in) against a published 150. So the abrasives shelf in this catalog — twelve 915 × 100 mm (36 × 3.94 in) belts in six grits — feeds this machine too. That is an unusual thing to be able to say across two halves of a shelf.
A vertical platen, which turns the belt into an edge sander. Flat, a belt sander dresses a face; vertical, the same belt squares an end or a mitre against the table, and the work is held down rather than pushed along. The published Scheppach BTS900 page on this shelf is credited for the same idea from the other direction — a belt arm that swings from horizontal to vertical, doubling what it can hold. Zero to ninety is the full range, and this is the only American machine here to publish it.
For a finishing machine, yes. Four point three amps at 115 volts is about 495 watts going in, which is in the same class as the 370 W the two published Scheppach machines on this shelf state — and both of those pages carry the same caveat in their cons: 370 W is modest, this is a finishing machine, not a stock-removal one. The same applies here. What it does well is take a band saw curve down to a line; what it will not do is thickness a board.
Between woodworking machines of the same category and nearby price. Shown: what they all state. A half-filled column says nothing.
