Bona FlexiDrum 8″ Belt Sander
This is a real favourite with our customers. It is one of the easiest most flexible floor sanding machines to use, especially for those who are not professionals.
The Bona Flexidrum 8 inch belt sander is ideal for floorboards, hardwood strip flooring, engineered flooring, solid wood flooring, and any flooring where the boards all face the same direction.
It is also good for evening out uneven parquet flooring in preparation for a finishing sander.
Bona FlexiDrum 8 Inch Belt Sander
- Mainly for domestic use, it can also be used in a commercial environment
- It has its own inbuilt dust extraction to minimize any dust that is generated and has its own cloth bag for collection of the sawdust
- It will not get fully to the edges or corners so you will need edging, detail sanders or scrapers to cover these areas
- It is simple to use and changing the continuous belts is fast and simple
- To get a floor ready for finishing you will need to go through grades of sanding belts from coarse to fine
- When used correctly you will have a fresh and clean floor
- This machine is best used by domestic users who have not any experience as it is the easiest machine to use
To fit a new belt simply tilt the sander onto its side and lift the cover, slide off the old belt and slide on the new belt making sure the arrows are pointing forward. If it is a bit stiff you can use a tiny squirt of washing up liquid to lubricate.
You should start with a coarse or medium/coarse belt and go through the grades until you finish with a fine belt, as standard we provide 24, 40, 80 and 120 grits but you can order 16, 60 and 100 grits which we may have in stock. Please note: 120 grit is the finest we stock.
When turning on the machine the lever on the handle must always be in position so the drum is up.
When starting to sand you must be moving before you lower the drum or this will leave a gouge in your floor. When you get to the end of the room lift the drum before you stop moving.
Always sand with the grain where you can, if you have to sand against the grain in hallways etc, finish with an edge sander to give it a better finish.
The bag can be untied and emptied when it is full.
Please note all nails must be countersunk down before sanding or this may cause sparks that can ignite the bag.
Do not use belt until they are bare as this can also lead to the bag being ignited.
If the belt sander stops working this may be because a fuse has blown, simply replace the fuse in the socket plug, also check that your socket is still working as these are powerful machines and may blow the main fuse.
How A Customer Used The Bona FlexiDrum 8 ′′ Belt Sander To Spruce Up His Sitting Room
Our customer, who has a sitting room with an unusual shape, chose to embellish it by sanding its wooden floors. They used the Bona FlexiDrum 8 ′′ Belt Sander along with edging machines and scraper to revitalize the floor.
Aside from its eco-friendliness, having a sanded hardwood floor adds an ultra-warm and welcoming character to the sitting room space, in addition to providing an authentic character to the interiors it adorns.
The client chose to sand and lacquer the floor in his sitting room to achieve a clean design and a satin finish, as this is the most visited room in the house and the one where guests are welcomed. A hardwood floor complements any decor, especially natural decorations such as plants, as well as rugs and sofas, and it looks even better if it is well maintained.
This floor sander, revitalised the floor. The faded floor looked new again and has become a focal point.
