Belt Oscillation Speed
For normal operations, the oscillation speed should be set so that it takes approximately a second or two to complete each direction of travel; however, you can experiment with different speeds to see how the results may affect your finished product. Often, you may find that certain speeds yield better results for different varieties of stock and the feed rates chosen.
KEEP your hands clear of the sanding belt when making these adjustments!
To set the belt oscillation speed, do these steps:
Note: Since each adjustment effects the other two slightly, you may have to repeat or
1.Complete the Belt Tracking adjustments on Page 24.
2.Put on safety glasses, tie back all loose clothing, remove jewelry, pull back sleeves, and tie back long hair so it will not get caught by the sanding belt.
3.If you have not already done so, turn the sander
ON.
KEEP loose clothing and long hair secured and away from moving parts.
