The Galaxy Eagle 8 Floor Sander is a relatively new innovation in floor sanding equipment. It is squarely aimed at the professional with sanding belt for aggressive sanding as well as a hard plate sander attachment to finish with an extremely fine sand. It is designed to be able to have the two variations changed over in a few minutes reducing time on the job. It is a 200mm (8 inch) width sander.
There are two major benefits. The first is the speed with which you can change the sander over from rough sandpaper to a smooth finisher. This saves both time and ultimately money for the craftsman and their client.
The second benefit is the innovative design which virtually eliminates ‘chatter marks’ or undercuts on the timber. Again, this highlights time and cost saving as well as increased client satisfaction.
We have also found that no matter how greasy the surface or timber type, this Galaxy Eagle 8 design is very resistant to sandpaper clogging. Because of this and the other features, we have been able to use this equipment successfully on floors with multiple species with no negative affects and without having to change equipment and consumables constantly.
As you would expect, this floor sander is a cut above the rest in both performance and cost. The extra cost in purchasing and importing such a piece of equipment is more than offset by the improved ease of use and finish.
Overall, if you are a true craftsman in the business for the long haul, you could do no better than invest in the Galaxy Eagle 8 Floor Sander.
