Sherwood 15in Disc Sander with Cabinet Stand 1125W 1450RPM

The Sherwood 15in Disc Sander: built for precision in busy workshop environments.

Please note: This Disc Sander runs on a 15A plug.

Designed for large and shared workshop spaces, this heavy-duty disc sander offers reliable power and precision for consistent, repeatable sanding. Ideal for end grain work, it allows for controlled material removal in fine increments. It also excels at repeatable square or angled sanding, and is well suited for shaping tasks.

Manufactured in Taiwan, the Sherwood 15in Disc Sander is built for long-term workshop use. The powerful 1125W (1.5HP) motor runs smoothly, supported by a stable cast iron table that resists vibration for cleaner, more accurate sanding. The cast iron table features easy angle adjustments from 45° to 90°, with locking handles on both sides and a clear angle reference scale. This ensures fast, secure setup for consistent results, whether sanding square edges or angled faces. Two mitre tracks, one parallel and one perpendicular to the disc, give greater versatility when using the supplied mitre gauge for repeatable sanding.

4-Pole Induction Motor

At the heart of this 15in disc sander is a robust 1125W (1.5HP) induction motor designed for smooth, vibration-free operation. Built as a 4-pole motor, it delivers a consistent 1450rpm — the ideal speed for precision control and maximum torque. Drawing up to 15 amps under load, it handles everything from softwoods to dense Australian hardwoods with ease. Whether shaping timber or refining acrylics and plastics, this motor delivers unstoppable performance and the grunt needed to power through tough materials — no slowdown, no compromise.

Compared with their DC counterparts, induction motors are quieter, simpler, and do not use any brushes. The less wearable parts there are, the less there is to go wrong or eventually replace! An induction motor increases the reliability of your machine, ensuring a long lifespan for large workshop needs.

Braked Motor

For large machines in communal workshops, bringing the machine to a complete stop quickly is an essential safety feature. The braked motor takes the disc from full speed to stationary in 2 seconds, using the standard or emergency stop buttons. This is extremely important in emergencies to protect yourself and your workpiece.

Dust Collection

Sanding machines create incredibly fine dust that can spread throughout your workshop and be hazard to you and your machines. A cabinet-mounted sander offers superior dust collection compared to benchtop models. Internal ducting directs debris to a rear 4in dust port, while the spring-latched cabinet captures any residual dust that escapes the extractor—keeping your workspace cleaner and more efficient.

Accessible Switch & Emergency Stop

The operational switch is located conveniently above the Disc Sander for easy access, whilst a Magnetic No-Volt Release (NVR) emergency stop button is located on the body of the cabinet, ensuring that the machine cannot be used until the NVR switch is disengaged.

15in Sanding Disc

The Sherwood 15in Disc Sander is supplied with a 100 Grit 15in abrasive disc attached. The Disc Sander requires discs to be affixed with adhesives. This ensures ultimate precision with zero give. The disc will need to be cleaned intermittently to remove any adhesive build up.

Disc Safety Guard

A disc guard on non-functional side of the disc to prevents material from catching and being flung from the machine. An essential safety feature, particularly in busy workshops. The guard is able to be removed for greater manoeuvrability on the table.

Fine-Tuned Setup and Vibration Control

Adjustable rubber feet allow for precise levelling and help dampen vibration, keeping the sander stable and enhancing user comfort and control.

5-Year Warranty

All Sherwood products feature a standard 5-Year limited warranty. No other disc sander in its class is more supported than the Sherwood 15in Disc Sander.
