Draper Disc Sander, 305mm, 750W

The Draper DS305 is a dedicated 305mm disc sander built for general sanding applications in the home workshop or light trade environment. Powered by a 750W brushless induction motor, it delivers smooth, quiet, and consistent performance across a wide range of sanding tasks on wood and similar materials. With a large sanding surface, generous worktable, and practical dust extraction facility, the DS305 is a focused, high-quality tool for anyone who wants the best from a standalone disc sander.

Key Features

At the heart of the DS305 is its 305mm sanding disc — one of the largest available in this category — running at 1,400 RPM via a brushless induction motor. Brushless motors run cooler, quieter, and more efficiently than conventional brushed alternatives, and they last significantly longer with less maintenance. For a workshop tool intended to see regular use, that's a meaningful advantage.

The worktable is a standout feature, measuring a generous 438 x 156mm — providing ample support for larger workpieces that smaller disc sanders simply can't accommodate. The table tilts from 0 to 45 degrees and is fitted with a mitre gauge, making accurate bevel and angle sanding straightforward and repeatable. A dust extraction facility keeps the workspace clean during use, and the machine is fitted with a no-volt switch for safety, preventing unexpected restarts after a power interruption. It arrives fitted with a cable and approved plug, and is supplied with one 305mm 80 grit self-adhesive sanding sheet so you can get straight to work.

Specifications

Who Is This Sander For?

The DS305 suits woodworkers, hobbyists, and workshop users who need a dedicated disc sander rather than a combined belt and disc unit. A standalone disc sander of this size excels at shaping end grain, truing up edges, and smoothing curved or angled workpieces with speed and precision. The 305mm disc and large worktable make it particularly well suited to furniture making, joinery, and pattern work where a smaller disc simply won't cut it. At 30kg, it's a solid, stable machine intended as a permanent workshop fixture.

Why Choose the Draper DS305?

Three things set the DS305 apart from lesser disc sanders: disc size, motor quality, and table dimensions. The 305mm disc gives you a large, fast-moving abrasive surface that handles material removal efficiently without the aggressive heat buildup common on cheaper machines. The brushless induction motor runs quietly enough to make extended sanding sessions genuinely comfortable, and its long service life means lower running costs over time. Pair that with a worktable large enough to properly support your workpiece and a mitre gauge for repeatable angle work, and the DS305 is a disc sander that will serve a serious workshop for years to come.
