Pillar Machine | LARICK 220 Profile Sander
The Model 220 Profile Sander is a two spindle machine designed for use with flexible brush type sanding wheels. The spindles are counter-rotating, allowing corners to be sanded without rounding over, and to sand in two directions. There are two height settings, allowing it to be used for both edge and panel sanding. In the raised position, the table moves toward the spindles, under the panel sanding wheel, providing support for small panels.
220 Profile Sander
The Larick Model 220 features two counter-rotating spindles to be used with brush type sanding wheels. This allows parts to be sanded without noticeable rounding over on corners. The sanding technique is to sand the left corners on the right sander (CW rotation) and the right corners on the left sander (CCW rotation). This method has the brushes formed to the profile as they go over the corners.
The spindles move up or down together and are controlled by an air valve. Adjustable stops are used for positioning. In addition to the vertical spindle travel, the tabletop also moves back 2″ when the spindles are raised. This provides support under the lower sanding head when sanding raised panels.

Pillar Machine LARICK 360 Profile Sander – Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pillar Machine LARICK 360 Profile Sander?
The LARICK 360 is an American-made industrial profile sanding machine designed for medium to high-production woodworking environments. It provides precision sanding for contoured mouldings, cabinet doors, and architectural components requiring consistent finish quality and higher throughput than entry-level profile sanders.
Is the LARICK 360 made in America?
Yes. The LARICK 360 is manufactured in the United States by Pillar Machine. American manufacturing ensures robust steel construction, quality-controlled assembly, faster parts access, and dependable domestic technical support.
How does the LARICK 360 compare to the LARICK 220 Profile Sander?
The LARICK 360 is engineered for heavier-duty use and higher production volumes than the LARICK 220. It features a more robust frame, greater sanding capacity, and improved capability for complex or deeper profile contours, making it better suited for demanding production environments.
Who should choose the LARICK 360 over the LARICK 220?
Shops running higher daily output, multiple shifts, or producing complex moulding profiles should choose the LARICK 360. The LARICK 220 is better suited for lighter-duty applications and lower production volumes.
Does the LARICK 360 handle more complex profiles than the 220?
Yes. The 360 is designed to accommodate deeper contours and more intricate profile geometries with greater stability and reduced vibration compared to the LARICK 220.
Is the LARICK 360 built for continuous production use?
Yes. Its heavier structural frame and industrial components are designed to withstand sustained daily operation, whereas the LARICK 220 is optimized for moderate-duty workflows.
What production volume is the LARICK 360 best suited for?
The 360 is ideal for cabinet manufacturers, millwork facilities, and woodworking shops producing consistent, high part volumes that require dependable uptime and repeatable finish quality.
Does the LARICK 360 reduce hand sanding more effectively than the 220?
In higher-volume environments, yes. The increased sanding capacity and stability of the 360 reduce the need for secondary hand finishing, especially on complex or larger profile components.
How does the structural design differ from the LARICK 220?
The LARICK 360 incorporates heavier frame members and enhanced mechanical stability, allowing it to manage larger workpieces and more aggressive sanding operations with reduced vibration and improved durability.
What materials can the LARICK 360 process?
The machine sands hardwoods, softwoods, MDF, composite mouldings, and engineered wood components commonly used in cabinetry and architectural millwork production.
Does the LARICK 360 improve finish consistency?
Yes. The enhanced structural rigidity compared to the 220 model promotes more uniform sanding pressure, resulting in consistent surface preparation before staining or painting.
Is the LARICK 360 a better long-term investment than the 220?
For higher-production shops, yes. While the 360 may represent a larger upfront investment, it offers stronger ROI through reduced downtime, longer service life, and improved throughput.
Can smaller shops still benefit from the LARICK 360?
Yes. Shops anticipating growth or increasing production demands may choose the 360 to avoid outgrowing the lighter-duty capacity of the LARICK 220.
How does the sanding capacity differ from the 220?
The LARICK 360 offers a larger sanding envelope and greater profile handling capability, making it more adaptable to varied part sizes and complex contours than the 220 model.
Does the LARICK 360 integrate with dust collection systems?
Yes. Like all Pillar machines, it includes dust porting designed to connect with proper extraction systems to maintain cleaner work environments.
Is maintenance more demanding on the LARICK 360?
No. Despite its heavier build, routine maintenance remains straightforward and accessible. The machine is engineered for durability and serviceability.
What industries typically choose the LARICK 360?
Mid-to-large cabinet manufacturers, architectural millwork operations, door production shops, and specialty woodworking facilities with consistent production schedules.
How does American manufacturing impact machine longevity?
American-built structural fabrication and component sourcing contribute to extended service life and stronger long-term performance compared to lighter imported alternatives.
Does the LARICK 360 increase throughput compared to the 220?
Yes. Its enhanced structural stability and sanding capacity allow higher part throughput and reduced secondary finishing steps in production environments.
Why choose the LARICK 360 over entry-level profile sanders?
The LARICK 360 delivers industrial durability, production-level consistency, and American-made reliability for shops requiring more capacity and profile flexibility than lighter-duty machines like the LARICK 220.
