We have updated the look and product code of our WDS-400 (now WDS-4080P); however, be assured that all specifications of this machine are the same as those of our tried-and-tested WDS-400.
This machine is ideal for finish sanding or as a finish planer on curly-grained, quilted, or birdseye timber. You can sand 400mm wide with one pass and 800mm with two passes; simply turn your board 180° for the second pass. A massive 125mm throat depth allows you to do larger pieces. Couple that with a powerful 1hp induction motor, and you have a winning combination.
A dust extractor is a must with this machine. We recommend at least a 2HP dust collector and 4" (100mm) diameter hose to the 2025 updated, larger 4" dust port. Doing so will significantly increase the effectiveness of your machine and improve your results.
Other 2025 updates include the addition of a hook on the back of the machine to allow you to hand your dust hose off, and keep if out of the outfeed path of the sander.
Constructed from cast and machined alloy to provide excellent accuracy and trouble-free operation. This machine is made in Taiwan and has been one of our top machines for many years. It is a great addition to your workshop and will help you accomplish remarkable results. Remember to buy an abrasive cleaning stick with this machine to clear the paper and keep it cutting at optimal performance.
While Carbatec advertises that the minimum thickness capacity is 3mm, this is a safe thickness to go down to. Thinner material being fed through the sander may lift off the conveyor belt, giving an inaccurate result in the sanding process, and may even get caught in the machine. For sanding thinner material, it is recommended that the material/veneer be adhered to a backing board to keep it secure.
An NVR switch is fitted for extra user safety.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Voltage fluctuations may cause damage to this machine. Please connect your machine to a dedicated surge protection device to ensure your warranty is protected.
