Abstract: A belt sander for sanding a workpiece including a main housing, a motor having a motor shaft disposed within the main housing, and a handle extending from the motor housing and configured to be grasped by a user for maneuvering the belt sander. The motor shaft defines a motor axis that is perpendicular to a handle axis of the handle. The belt sander further includes a contact arm that extends from the motor housing and is moveable between a stowed position and a deployed position, and a light assembly coupled to the motor housing. The light assembly includes a light housing, an LED, and a lens coupled to the light housing for diverging light rays from the LED across a light range. When the contact arm is in the deployed position, the light range illuminates at least a portion of the contact arm and a space below the contact arm.

Abstract: A power tool includes a housing. The housing includes a motor housing portion and a handle portion extending rearward from the motor housing portion. A motor is located within the motor housing portion. A variable speed dial is coupled to the housing, and the variable speed dial is configured to adjust a maximum rotary speed of the motor. A trigger is coupled to the housing proximate the handle portion. The trigger is configured to be actuated in a plurality of positions between an undepressed position and a maximally depressed position to selectively activate the motor. A constant speed setting switch is configured to lock a rotary speed of the motor determined by the adjustment of the variable speed dial and a depressed position of the trigger.
