Drum Alignment

To ensure good sanding results, the conveyor belt and sanding drum must be parallel with each other from side to side (see the illustration in Figure 34). Otherwise, more material will be removed from one side of the workpiece than the other.

3.Take several light cuts through the sander without rotating or flipping the board.

4.Make measurements at "A" and "B" as indi- cated in Figure 34.

—If measurement "A" is less than "B", loosen or remove the cap screws on the right con- veyor support (see Figure 35) and shim between the support and frame to com- pensate for the difference between "A" and "B".
