Belt and disc sander Scheppach BTS700

The Scheppach BTS700 belt and disc sander is a compact dual-purpose sanding machine designed for precision surface preparation and finishing. Combining a horizontal belt sander with a vertical sanding disc, this unit provides flexibility for a range of woodworking and material-smoothing tasks. The BTS700 features a robust motor, adjustable speed control, and a stable base to reduce vibration during operation. A dust extraction port supports cleaner work conditions and easier post-work cleanup.

Advantages

The machine delivers consistent sanding performance across flat and contoured surfaces thanks to its belt and disc combination. Its adjustable speed settings allow better control over finish quality on different materials, while the solid construction and compact footprint make it suitable for small workshops and job sites. Integrated dust extraction capability helps maintain visibility and reduces airborne particles for a safer working environment.

Suitable for

• Shaping and smoothing wooden boards, edges and profiles
• Removing old finishes and paint from flat surfaces
• Deburring and refining metal or plastic parts (light-duty)
• Preparing surfaces before gluing, painting or varnishing

Key specifications

• Configuration: combined belt sander and disc sander
• Motor: powerful motor designed for continuous sanding tasks
• Speed control: adjustable belt speed for material-specific finishing
• Working surfaces: horizontal belt table and vertical disc face for varied sanding angles
• Dust management: port for connection to a dust extractor or vacuum
• Construction: stable base and vibration-reducing design for improved accuracy
• Size: compact footprint suitable for small workshops and transport

How to use

Secure the sander on a stable workbench and connect a suitable dust extraction system to the port if available. Select the appropriate abrasive grit for the task and fit it to the belt or disc following the manufacturer’s fitting instructions. Set the speed according to the material and the desired finish, and hold the workpiece firmly while moving it steadily against the sanding surface. Use the belt for longer, flat surfaces and the disc for edge work and contouring. Allow the machine to reach operating speed before contact, and avoid excessive pressure to prevent burning or gouging the material.

Usage recommendations

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye and hearing protection and a dust mask when sanding. Regularly check and replace worn abrasives, and keep the dust port and working surfaces clean to maintain performance. For best results on wood, progress from coarse to fine grits and test on a scrap piece to confirm speed and pressure settings.
