JET IBDG-248 2" × 48" Belt & 9" Disc Sander
Are you losing time and accuracy every time you switch between a belt grinder and a disc sander to finish a part?
What if one machine handled both operations from a single solid platform, so you could move from rough shaping to final surface work without changing setups?
Meet the JET IBDG-248, a combination 2" × 48" belt and 9" disc grinder built for shops that need consistent grinding performance across a full range of fabrication tasks.
With a sealed-bearing drive system, heavy cast iron construction throughout, and a fully enclosed one-horsepower motor, the IBDG-248 is rated for continuous industrial use.
When your shop demands a machine that holds up to daily production without drift or vibration, the IBDG-248 gives you a stable platform you can rely on shift after shift.
JET IBDG-248 for Metalworking, Fabrication, and Surface Finishing
Heavy Cast Iron Construction Holds the Machine Steady
The base, platen, and work rests are all cast iron. That mass dampens vibration at the source, so the surface you are grinding against stays firm throughout the cut. A stable grinding platform means less chatter, cleaner contact, and more consistent results across a full shift of use.
9" Aluminum Disc Manages Heat and Extends Abrasive Life
The aluminum disc backing draws heat away from the abrasive surface faster than steel or cast iron alternatives. At 3,600 RPM, that heat management keeps the disc abrasive working longer before it glazes or degrades. You spend less time changing abrasives and more time finishing parts.
Cast Iron Work Rests with Tool-Less Adjustment Speed Setup
Both the belt and disc work rests are cast iron and adjust without reaching for a wrench. When you need to change the angle between jobs, the adjustment takes seconds. Rigid cast iron rests also hold their setting under load, so each part contacts the abrasive at the same angle from start to finish.
Dual Dust Collection Ports Keep the Work Area Clear
Two 2" dust collection ports pull grinding debris from both the belt and disc stations. Keeping grit and metal particles out of the work area protects both the operator and the machine's bearings over time. Full guarding covers all non-work contact points, and a safety switch with a removable key adds an additional layer of control in shared shop environments.
