6" X 89" OSCILLATING EDGE SANDER

The Craftex CX-Series CX505 Oscillating Edge Belt Sander is designed for efficient edge, surface, and contour sanding in demanding woodworking environments. Its 6" x 89" sanding belt provides a large working area, while the oscillating action helps distribute abrasive wear and supports a more consistent finish.

The sanding head adjusts to any position between 90° and 180°, allowing the machine to handle horizontal, vertical, and angled sanding applications. The main worktable can also be adjusted to different heights so the operator can use more of the available belt surface, helping promote even belt wear over time.

For sanding curved or rounded workpieces, the CX505 includes an auxiliary table that provides access to the end drum area. A large 23-1/2" x 6-1/8" fence supports straight-edge sanding, while the included mitre gauge assists with controlled angle work.

The sanding belt features adjustable tension and tracking controls for accurate setup. A motor drum guard, keyed safety switch, and enclosed cabinet stand support safer and more organized operation. The cabinet base also provides convenient storage for sanding belts, accessories, and workshop tools.
