W1730 Oscillating Edge Sander
Spindle Sanding
The spindle sander on the Model W1730 produces a high quality sanding finish on inside contours. Make sure the spindle table is properly installed with the correct table insert for the spindle drum. Move the table on occasion to reduce spot wear on the sleeve's.
To perform spindle sanding operations, do these steps:
1.Make sure that the appropriate spindle and table insert have been installed correctly and both are secured tightly.
2.Position the table in the desired location and turn the power switch ON.
3.While securely holding the workpiece, lightly press it against the spindle and maintain consistent pressure against the table as shown in Figure 30. Use extra caution when sanding
4.When you have completed your sanding operation, turn the power switch OFF.
End & Edge Sanding
Proper use of the oscillating edge sander will yield excellent sanding results due to the oscillating movement.
To perform an edge or end sanding operation, do these steps:
1.Start the sander by turning the switch ON.
2.Support the workpiece against the back stop, and slowly feed the workpiece into the moving belt, as shown in Figure 31. Note: If you must feed a workpiece into the sanding belt corner first, feed the trailing corner first. Feeding the leading corner first could cause the sanding belt to grab the workpiece and jerk it out of your hands.
3.When you have completed your sanding operation, turn the power switch OFF.
KEEP HANDS CLEAR of all pinch points when adjusting the spindle table.
