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.

A protective cover assembled on an abrasive belt hand tool. The protective cover comprises an annular base and a tightening component. The annular base comprises a notch, a first clamping arm positioned on one side of the notch, and a second clamping arm positioned on the other side. The first clamping arm is formed with a through hole, the second clamping arm is formed with an assembly hole, the assembly hole does not penetrating through the second clamping arm. The annular base comprises a first state for tightening a protective cover mounting portion when the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm narrow the notch, and the annular base comprises a second state that the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm do not narrow the notch. The tightening component comprises a pull rod penetrating through the through hole and a piece arranged on the pull rod.

A system for polishing an outer surface of a specimen, the system including a motor and a rotatable shaft extending from a first end of the motor, wherein the specimen is removably attachable to the rotatable shaft, a safety cover configured to at least partially surround at least a portion of the rotatable shaft, wherein the safety cover includes a top panel, a first side panel and a second side panel spaced from each other across a width of the safety cover and extending downwardly from the top panel, and at least one aperture extending through at least one of the first and second side panels. The system further includes an abrasive material insertable through the at least one aperture so that the abrasive material is positionable to contact the outer surface of the specimen.

A belt sander includes a shield, a housing, and a sanding belt. The shield includes a main plate unit and an extension plate unit. The main plate unit cooperates with the housing to define a protection space. The extension plate unit extends from the main plate unit toward the sanding belt, and cooperates with the housing to define an opening that is in spatial communication with the protection space. The extension plate unit is spaced apart from the sanding belt in a first extending direction of a first axis, and cooperates with the sanding belt to define a first gap therebetween in the first extending direction. The extension plate unit is spaced apart from the sanding belt in a second extending direction of a second axis substantially orthogonal to the first axis, and cooperates with the sanding belt to define two second gaps therebetween in the second extending direction.

A protective cover assembled on an abrasive belt hand tool. The protective cover comprises an annular base and a tightening component. The annular base comprises a notch, a first clamping arm positioned on one side of the notch, and a second clamping arm positioned on the other side. The first clamping arm is formed with a through hole, the second clamping arm is formed with an assembly hole, the assembly hole does not penetrating through the second clamping arm. The annular base comprises a first state for tightening a protective cover mounting portion when the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm narrow the notch, and the annular base comprises a second state that the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm do not narrow the notch. The tightening component comprises a pull rod penetrating through the through hole and a piece arranged on the pull rod.
