  • The SL-8 floor sander is the only machine on the market that will allow the DIY customer to achieve the results they want and expect.

The 1.5 hp constant speed motor and soft rubber drum with our unique cam locking system combine to work like a professional sander. The sandpaper is held between 2 spring-loaded cams. The slow (1800 RPM) constant speed of the drum will not gouge floors.

The tilt action for the SL-8 allows for more controlled and even sanding when compare to other machines available to the rental trade. When you sand forward and backward with the SL-8, you can be assured of straight sanding because it runs on the drum and wheels. The weight of the machine is specifically designed and evenly distributed for the best results.

We have manufactured the SL-8 with a 1.5 hp completely sealed, Capacitor Baldor motor. It will run the drum at 1800 RPM constantly on 14 amps (standard household current). Because of this design, unique to the Silver-Line motor, the drum will not slow down or speed up as it sands, resulting in a level, smooth finish without waves. The sealed motor also saves you money because it keeps sawdust out.

High Density foam rubber is the material used on the SL8 drum because it works. This material is more forgiving to the end user because it is softer and more resilient.

Motor – 1.5 HP constant speed, 115 volt, AC only, 60 Cycle, single phase. Runs on 14 amps.
