Disc Sanding, Sharpening, Contour Sanding | Grizzly G3105 instruction

Disc Sanding

Disc sanding is well suited for finishing small flat surfaces and curved edges. The down (right) side of the disc is the working area. The disc moves fastest and removes the most material at the outer edge. A miter gauge that fits in the slot in the table is provided. Use it to secure the work- piece and to hold the proper angle when disc sanding. See Figure 10.

Figure 10. Disc sanding.

Sharpening

Tilt table to the desired sharpening angle and tighten the locking knobs. Using C-Clamps, attach a suitable wood scrap to the table. This wood table should allow the flat shank of the chis- el or knife to sit flat so the proper angle against the disc can be achieved. See Figure 11. This acts as an auxiliary table to support the work- piece. This table should be 1⁄16" away from the belt. It may be necessary to cut a notch in your auxiliary table to achieve this clearance.

NOTICE

When grinding or polishing metal, the use of a metal abrasive is recommended. The use of a grease stick may also be neces- sary when grinding soft metals such as alu- minum or brass.

Contour Sanding

Remove the platen to allow the 1" sanding belt to follow the shape of your workpiece. Slowly feed the workpiece into the belt. Do not apply too much pressure while sanding.
