Basic Sanding

The normal sanding depth for most workpieces is

164". This depth can be achieved by approximately a 34 turn of the table height handwheel. For each turn of the handwheel, the conveyor table moves approximately 0.021" See Figure 43.

Remember, heavy cuts and/or a feed rate that is too fast can jam or burn the workpiece, instantly burn the sandpaper, slip the drive belts and give poor sanding results. See Figures 44 and 45.

To help prevent these conditions, make the correct depth of cut; and for wide workpieces, sand them two or three times without adjusting the table height. Also, turn the stock 180° to ensure an even cut.

TIP: When you sand dark-colored wood and then you sand light-colored wood, pass a PRO-STIK®15" x 20" cleaning pad through the drum sander so the light-colored wood will not become stained from the previously sanded dark wood.
