This Kurt Ehemann V K8 is a used combination sander — sometimes referred to as a disc and spindle sanding machine — that integrates two distinct sanding functions into a single unit. Combination sanders of this type are widely used in woodworking and joinery applications, allowing operators to perform both flat disc sanding and cylindrical spindle sanding without switching between separate machines.
The disc sanding section is built around an 800 mm diameter sanding disc driven at 940 rpm by a 3 kW motor. Its worktable measures 900 x 300 mm and stands at a working height of 900 mm. The table is inclinable, tilting 30° downward and 15° upward, which accommodates angled workpieces. For sandpaper changes, the entire table assembly can be swiveled clear of the disc, making abrasive replacement straightforward.
The spindle sanding unit accepts a 50 mm diameter sanding sleeve and is powered by a 1.1/1.6 kW pole-changing motor. The two-speed arrangement delivers 1,410 rpm for clockwise rotation and 2,420 rpm for anticlockwise rotation, giving the operator control over surface finish and material removal rate. The spindle also produces an oscillating stroke movement of 10 mm, which distributes wear across the sleeve and improves the quality of the sanded surface. The spindle itself is height-adjustable within the table. Its circular worktable has a diameter of 500 mm and sits at a height of 1,000 mm; it is inclinable by approximately 30° and is fitted with removable segment inserts in three sizes — 54 mm, 84 mm, and 308 mm diameter — to accommodate different spindle diameters.
Dust extraction is catered for via a rectangular pipe connection measuring 100 x 170 mm. The machine runs on a 380 V, 50 Hz mains supply. Overall footprint is 1,500 x 1,100 x 1,400 mm (L x W x H) and the machine weighs 550 kg. Built in 1968 and carrying serial number 6812420, this Kurt Ehemann V K8 is located in Germany and is described by the seller as being in very good condition.
