G0458 18" Open End Belt/Drum Sander

The optimum depth of cut will vary based on the type of wood, feed rate, and sandpaper grit. Attempts to remove too much material can cause jamming, wood burning, rapid paper wear or tear- ing, poor finish, and belt slippage.

To set the depth of cut:

1.Rotate the table height handwheel (Figure 16) until the table is too low, then raise the table, allowing a gap between the workpiece and the sanding drum.

Note: When adjusting the table to sand a thicker workpiece, lower and then raise the table to remove backlash from the adjust- ment mechanism.

Figure 16. Table height handwheel.

2.Turn ON the feed belt and sanding drum and feed the workpiece into the sander. SLOWLY raise the feed belt until the workpiece makes light contact with the sanding drum. This is the correct height to begin sanding the workpiece.

3.After the initial pass, turn the handwheel up to 1⁄4 turn (1⁄64" or 0.4mm)—the maximum depth for most sanding conditions. Note: Each full turn of the table height handwheel raises the feed table approximately 0.060" (1⁄16") or 1.5mm.
