SECTION 6: OPERATIONS

The aluminum disc accepts 12" diameter cloth or paper-backed PSA sanding discs. The belt sander requires a 6" x 48" sanding belt. For disc or belt sanding, we recommend a 100-grit (medi- um) material for general sanding chores, a 60-grit (coarse) material for rough work, and a 150-grit (fine) surface for finish work. See the current Grizzly catalog for prices and ordering informa- tion.

Please review all safety rules for sanders and all power tools before attempting operation. The hints listed below are also worth your considera- tion:

1.When using the table for beveled sanding operations, try to keep an open table angle (90˚ or more). This eliminates the risk of getting the workpiece jammed between the disc (or vertical belt) and the table.

2.The surface feet per minute of the spinning disc increases as you move from the center to the rim.

3. When belt sanding, sand with the grain of the wood.

4.Do not over-sand soft woods such as bass wood or pine.

5.Choose the correct sanding grit for the job.

6.Do not use the sander as a replacement for a bandsaw or a planer. It is designed for fin- ish work, not rough dimensioning.

7.Keep your workpiece moving across the face of the disc or belt to prevent grooves or ruts in the surface you’re sanding.

Table Tilt

The belt table can be adjusted from -30˚ to 45˚ and the disc table can go from -20˚ to 45˚ relative to the plane of the sanding surface. Both tables have positive stop blocks which will quickly posi- tion the table at the 90˚ and 45˚ angles. To adjust the tilt it is sometimes necessary to swing the stop block out of the way, move the table, swing the block back in, then contact the stop block. If angles other than the preset are desired, swing the stop out of the way and use the angle scale or a bevel gauge to set to the position needed. Lock the handle (on the belt table) or the star knob (on the disc table) firmly in position.

Whenever possible, sand with an open angle where there is plenty of clearance between the belt and the table. This will avoid getting the work- piece trapped between the sanding surface and the table.
