The Rikon 50-112 Combo Sander is a competent bench top sander that’s handy for anyone looking for a belt and disc sander that can match the capabilities of some larger sanders in a more compact package. One significant advantage of having a portable combo sander is that it won’t take up a lot of space in your workshop.

The 38 pound combination sander is constructed with cast iron steel for both tool durability and stability. Its table is made of cast aluminum, so you get a sturdy and accurate work table that will help you hold your work piece steady while sanding. The Rikon 50-112 Combo Sander features a 4″ x 36″ belt and a 6″ disc sander—both which are fairly standard and simple to replace when needed. The machine’s belt speed achieves 1,900 SFPM, while disc speed reaches 3,450 RPM. The belt sander of Rikon 50-112 can be tilted from 0 to 90 degrees, while its 9″ x 6-1/4″ table tilts from 0 to 45 degrees.

Apart from the combo sander’s tilting table, a miter gauge attachment gives you even more control. One of the many things to consider when buying a combination belt and disc sander is the motor. The 50-112 has a 1/2 HP, 4.3 Amps system that can handle quite a bit of work.
