Built to Last

Shannon Precision has been solving industrial manufacturing problems since 1984. The Shannon Precision belt sander/grinder was developed to address common shortcomings found in conventional belt machines, including vibration, difficult tracking adjustments, complicated belt changes, excessive noise, and long-term reliability concerns.

The result is a heavy-duty belt sander/grinder designed for practical shop use, straightforward adjustment, serviceable components, and dependable performance.

Design & Construction

Key Features

Solid Construction

Primary Shannon Precision-manufactured components are made from solid steel or billet 6061 aluminum rather than cast iron or cast aluminum.

Direct Motor Drive

The sanding belt is driven through a direct motor coupling, eliminating V-belts that can wear, slip, or require replacement.

Simple Belt Tracking

Belt tracking is adjusted with an accessible hand wheel without tedious jam-nut adjustments.

Convenient Belt Tensioning

Belt tension is adjusted with a hand wheel, without requiring a jam-nut locking arrangement.

Fast Belt Changes

The belt-release design allows the operator to release tension and remove the sanding belt without repeatedly changing the normal tension setting.

Adjustable Operating Position

The main beam can be positioned vertically, horizontally, or at intermediate angles to suit different sanding and grinding operations.

Adjustable Work Rests

Two separate work-rest platens can be adjusted from zero to 45 degrees. The main platen uses heavy solid-steel construction to help reduce part chatter.

Contact-Wheel Grinding

An eight-inch-diameter serrated rubber contact wheel supports contour grinding, hollow grinding, knife shaping, and other metal-shaping applications.

Standard Replacement Components

Purchased components are selected with serviceability in mind and can be replaced through standard industrial suppliers where applicable.

60-Inch Belt Length

The machine uses a 60-inch sanding belt, providing a useful balance between belt life, performance, and replacement-belt availability.
