Weld Cleaning Simplified with New Mirka® FBS-B

October 10, 2024

Mirka brings cordless convenience to file belt sanding. The new Mirka® FBS-B battery file belt sander is designed for cleaning welding seams and spot welds in heavy collision and auto body repairs as well as vehicle manufacturing and restoration.

With a powerful and long-life brushless electric motor, the smooth, quiet, and light Mirka FBS-B file belt sander excels in seam and spot weld sanding without the need for a pneumatic compressor. It is accompanied by Mirka’s line of file belts and surface conditioning belts that provide a high removal rate and a good surface finish in grinding spot welds and removing paint. The Mirka FBS-B battery file belt sander is available as two models with different belt widths, the FBS-B 13 and FBS-B 10. With the 5.0 Ah battery fitted, these sanders weigh just over 2.5 pounds.

The cordless, balanced, and ergonomic design gives the operator complete freedom to reach difficult spots without restriction from cables or hoses, with a rubberized handle that is comfortable to hold. With the tension mechanism and open belt access, the belt is easy to change in a matter of seconds, and the belt position is quick to adjust.

User safety has been a priority in creating the Mirka FBS-B 13 and FBS-B 10. The file belt sander features a light to illuminate the work surface and improve sanding precision, and the handle includes a protective flap to shield the operator’s hand from sparks. With the convenient and safe stepless trigger button, sanding speed is easily adjusted between 2200 rpm and 17000 rpm in seven steps with the handle mounted buttons, familiar from other Mirka cordless tools. For an unrivalled cordless combination in collision repair, pair the Mirka FBS-B file belt sander with the Mirka ANGOS ARG-B 200 cordless grinder.

Thanks to Bluetooth connectivity, the Mirka FBS-B file belt sander is paired with the myMirka mobile app that helps operators monitor vibration levels and to register their tools.

With an easily swapped battery, the Mirka FBS-B file belt sander minimizes downtime and maximizes productivity in manufacturing and repair work. The batteries share their design with other Mirka cordless tools, including cordless sanders and polishers as well as the Mirka® ANGOS ARG-B cordless grinder, and they are available in two sizes: 2.5 Ah and 5.0 Ah. The Mirka FBS-B battery file belt sander completes the suite of Mirka cordless tools for spot repair and surface finishing.
