At the heart of this model is Performax’s self-cooling drum. The 5" x 16" extruded aluminum, precision machined and balanced drum operates at 1700 RPM. The continuous duty motor offers the advantages of heavier use for longer periods of time. It is especially helpful for abrasive planing. Performax’s "no-give" power feed conveyor is an integral part of the 16-32® PLUS. The durable, thin abrasive belt and the reinforced steel bed provides a rigid surface to precisely sand stock to within .010" uniform thickness.

The 16-32 PLUS offers both maximum and minimum sanding capacity.
Maximum width: 32"
Maximum thickness: 3"
Minimum length: 2 1/4"
Minimum thinness: 1/16"Scroll saw cut-outs can be cut easier on thicker stock and then sanded to the desired thinness.
Multiple cut-outs can be sanded at one time.

The 16-32 PLUS includes tension rollers mounted next to the drum for sanding small or thin stock automatically without a press-back application or special jigs. Stock as short as 2 1/4" and as thin as 1/16" can be sanded hands-free.

A new spinning height adjustment handle allows a tight grip and the ability to make radical height changes quickly, while also allowing minute adjustments for extremely precise sanding thickness control.

A variety of abrasive grits and an infinitely-variable feed rate of 0-10 feet per minute will surface, dimension, and finish sand.
