As part of the Power X-Change family, the bandfile can be used with any battery or charger from the system. It comes with two interchangeable grinding arms with different widths. The narrower 9 mm grinding arm is perfect for tight spaces and for grinding very small, intricate workpieces. With the wider 13 mm grinding arm, even larger, flat surfaces can be tackled. The grinding arm can be pivoted by up to 90°, which gives the flexibility to work from various positions and makes it easier to machine hard-to-reach areas. The speed regulator allows the sanding belt speed to be adjusted between 250 and 1,700 m/min, so it can be tailored to the workpiece at hand and the desired material removal rate. This means the tool can adapt to wide variety of materials. For more time-consuming work, the handy and lightweight cordless bandfile has a lock-on button. The sanding belt can be changed via a tool-free, lever-operated mechanism, and the belt tracking is adjusted by a screw on the sanding arm. Thanks to its ergonomic design with Softgrip surfaces, the bandfile sits comfortably in the hand. The rugged motor housing has a Softgrip cover so it can be used as an auxiliary handle for easy handling. The grinding arm casing is made of solid metal. For clean work, a suction adapter is included, allowing, for example, Einhell wet-dry vacuum cleaners to be connected. The item includes a 12-piece set of sanding belts in two belt widths (two each of P60, P80 & P120 grit), two grinding arms and a practical transport and storage pouch. The tool does not include a battery or charger. These are available separately.
This guide is for users of the Einhell TE-BF 18 Li-Solo cordless bandfile. It helps users grind and deburr in hard-to-reach areas, offering adjustable speed and interchangeable grinding arms for versatility. A key caveat is that the battery and charger are sold separately. This tool is part of the Power X-Change family and features a lock-on button for extended use, tool-free sanding belt changes, and an ergonomic design for comfortable handling.
