Spindle Sanding
The oscillating spindle sander on the Model G0529 produces an extremely fine sanding finish on edges or contours. The oscillation of the spin- dle disperses the material contact throughout the sanding sleeve to prevent burning.
To perform spindle sanding operations:
1.Check to make sure that the table insert has been installed correctly and the spindle is secured tightly.
2.Set the angle of the table relative to the sanding sleeve. The angle can be set with the angle gauge on the spindle sander table or with a protractor for greater accuracy.
NoteÑThe spindle sander table can be posi- tioned from 0˚ to 45˚, relative to the plane of the sanding surface.
3.Make sure that the appropriate spindle has been selected for the intended operation and that it is installed properly.
4.Connect the sander to a dust collection sys- tem.
5.Turn the power switch ON to start the spindle sander and begin sanding as shown in Figure 17. DO NOT FORCE THE WORK-
PIECE AGAINST THE SANDING SLEEVE.
Never use the Model G0529 for applica- tions other than those for which it was made. DO NOT overload the machine or use excess force when sanding. Severe personal injury, damage to the machine, or damage to your workpiece could occur.
