Rikon 1" x 30" Belt/ 5" Disc Sander Model 50-1305

The Rikon Model 50-1305 combines a 1-inch by 30-inch belt sander with a 5-inch disc sander into a single compact benchtop unit. Powered by a 1/3 HP, 2.3-amp induction motor, it is designed for hobbyists, crafters, and DIYers tackling light-duty shaping and quick stock removal on smaller workpieces.

Versatility is the main advantage of this two-in-one setup. The unit features a durable cast metal frame and base, paired with dual cast aluminum work tables. Both tables tilt from 0 to 45 degrees, giving you the ability to sand precise angles and bevels on either the belt or the disc. A miter gauge is included in the box to help guide accurate cuts and edges.

Day-to-day operation is streamlined with tool-free adjustments. A quick-release tension lever makes changing the sanding belt fast and straightforward. To manage debris, the machine includes dual 1-3/8-inch outside diameter dust ports, alongside an initial starter set containing an 80-grit PSA disc and a 100-grit belt.

As a compact benchtop machine, it has clear physical boundaries. With a 1/3 HP motor and a 1-inch belt width, it is engineered for small craft pieces, jewelry, models, and light furniture touch-ups rather than large-scale woodworking or heavy lumber leveling. The disc sander also relies on pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) discs rather than hook-and-loop attachments.

Verdict: The Rikon 50-1305 is a solid, space-saving choice for makers working on fine crafts, models, and light repairs. If you need dual-angle sanding capability on a compact benchtop footprint, this model delivers good utility out of the box.
