JET IBDG-248VS 2" × 48" Variable Speed Belt & 9" Disc Sander
Are you losing time on metal finishing work because your grinder runs at a fixed speed that does not suit every task?
What if you could dial in the exact belt speed for each job and stop the machine quickly when you need to move on?
Meet the JET IBDG-248VS, a combination belt and disc grinder built for industrial shop use with variable speed control across both grinding surfaces.
With the IBDG-248VS, you get a 2" × 48" belt running from 1,178 to 4,712 SFPM and a 9" disc spinning from 900 to 3,600 RPM, each adjustable through a digital readout that shows your current speed at a glance.
When you need a machine that handles both belt and disc work in one footprint and stops reliably when the job is done, the IBDG-248VS is built for that kind of daily shop use.
JET IBDG-248VS for Variable Speed Metal and Surface Grinding
Variable Speed Drive Matches Belt and Disc to the Material
The IBDG-248VS runs the belt from 1,178 to 4,712 SFPM and the disc from 900 to 3,600 RPM. You set the speed to suit the material and the task rather than working around a fixed setting. That range covers stock removal on hard metals as well as finer finishing passes where lower speeds protect the surface.
Digital Readout Keeps Speed Accurate During Work
The digital display shows RPM and SFPM in real time while the machine runs. You know exactly where the speed is set without guessing or measuring by feel. That kind of feedback keeps your results consistent from one job to the next.
Electric Motor Brake Stops Rotation in Under 20 Seconds
The brake resistor brings the belt and disc from 3,600 RPM to a full stop in less than 20 seconds. In a production shop, fast stopping means less time standing at the machine waiting for it to wind down before you move to the next step. It also reduces the risk that comes with a slowly coasting abrasive surface.
Cast Iron Construction Holds the Machine Steady Under Load
The heavy cast iron base absorbs vibration that would otherwise move through the frame and affect your work. The cast iron platen gives the belt a rigid backing surface so pressure stays even across the contact zone. Cast iron work rests adjust without tools and hold position once set.
