The process of scraping off the surface is done by sandpaper which is the most important component of the sander. Belt sanders remove then material quickly and   used at the initial stages of the process. Belt sanders rub a surface with sandpaper and as a result smooth that particular surface. They can be used for getting rid of paints from a wooden surface with utmost ease.

The major component of the belt sanders is the sandpaper which is fixed on to rollers which in turn move on the surface and the resultant surface is smooth. The efficiency of sandpaper is dependent on the size and texture of its particles.

Black & Decker Belt Sanders has introduced the new 3 by 21 inch Dragster, a belt sander a radical new low profile front end design that offers the most versatility of any other belt sanders in the market. With the help of its low profile front roller the Dragster is able to sand more surface area and closer to vertical surface area like the baseboard as compared to the standard belt sanders that come with large block style front ends. The tapered front part of the Dragster helps to sand in narrow, confined spaced under cabinets or deck rails.

The low-profile design of this type of belt sanders also allow you to sand in slim spaces between spindles or narrow spaces in woodworking projects. There is a retractable locking hood present on the front of the sander that lifts to expose the top of the belt. With the hood up, you will be able to sand with the top, front-end and bottom of the belt to sand in the confined areas as under chair backs, fronts of dressers and inside curved woodworking projects to aid in rapid material removal. The retractable locking hood also helps to sand with the curved surface of the front of the Belt Sander for contouring and shaping.

The Dragster's side design helps to flush in-line sanding on hardwood floors that are found against baseboards or a shelf. The Dragster comes with a 3-position adjustable locking handle, instead of the typical one-handle position. This handle is able easily adapt to a range of projects and helps maximize comfort and control. A powerful 6.0 amp high-performance motor helps to sand 800 feet per minute. The Metal components found on the Dragster add to its durability. It also has  a dust collection system that create a cleaner work area.
