Chatter - Wave Prevention

American Sanders Technology Sanders are designed and manufactured to the most rigid tolerances. How- ever, after a finishing cut it is possible to see “chatter” or “waves”.

The best guarantee to remove the chatter is to finish the floor with a

rotating horizontal sander, such as American Sanders Technology’s Sander 16.

To minimize chatter when using a belt or drum sander the following steps should be taken:

1)DRUM PAPER...insure the paper is secured in the slot, but not too tight. Paper that is too tight will force the drum slot wider, leaving a “slot mark chatter” on the floor.

2)DRUM MARKS........are caused by the operator lowering the drum to the floor without forward traverse. These marks should be removed by cutting at a 45 degree angle to the mark. Cutting at the mark while maintaining the same path will only increase the mark depth and width.
