About The 371K Belt Sander
This portable, compact belt Sander from Porter-Cable is shaped like an armadillo with an arched back and a rubber grip for one-handed operation. Because it's so perfectly balanced, no matter how you hold it you're directing force at the center of the platen for more comfortable, precise control. With a super light body weight (just five pounds) and advanced design, this model is sure to become a favorite go-to device -- and its designers aren't the only people who think so. In 2006 this belt sander won the Handy Magazine Innovation Award due to its great style, ease of use, and all-around great craftsmanship.

Packed to the gills with helpful features, the 371K is ready to work, with a removable dust port that helps keep your work space clean. Its 5 amp, 500 MWO motor delivers real power for clearing hardwoods, and the dust sealed, recessed switch is easy to access and minimizes accidental turn-offs. The removable auxiliary handle gives you exceptional control when you need two hands, and low center of gravity feels stable, no matter how you hold it. The 371K boasts a hardy plastic housing over metal components that are made to stand up to heavy use, with a flush side that lets you sand right up against perpendicular surfaces. This kit comes with an 80-grit sanding belt (2-1/2 by 14-inch) and a carrying case for easy transport to the job site or the workshop.
