About this rental
Get professional-quality results at a fraction of the cost with our Essex Silver-Line SL-8 floor sander for rent. The 1 HP constantly-sealed, repulsion-induction Baldor motor will run the soft rubber drum at a slow,1800 RPM constant speed on 14 Amps (standard household current). Because of the design, the drum will not slow down or speed up as it sands, resulting in a level, smooth finish without waves and will not gouge the floor.
The totally-sealed motor also keeps dust out, prolonging the life of the motor, and eliminates brush wear by using the brushes only to start the motor. Two spring-loaded cams hold 8in. x 20-3/16in sandpaper. 1 HP, 115 Volt AC only, 60-cycle single-phase motor 1800 RPM constant drum speed Runs on 14 Amps.
