Sanding Belts
There are many types of sanding belts to choose from. We recommend Aluminum Oxide for gen- eral workshop environments. Below is a chart that groups abrasives into different classes, and shows which grits fall into
Grit | Type |
Very Course | |
|
|
Course | |
|
|
Medium | |
|
|
Fine | |
|
|
Very Fine |
The general rule of thumb is to sand a workpiece with progressively higher grit numbers, with no one grit increase of more than 100.
To replace the sanding belts:
1.Unplug the sander from the power source!
2.Loosen the lock lever shown in Figure 6 and rotate the handwheel to remove the tension on the belt.
