Angle Sanding
Miters can also be sanded by changing the angle of the table.
Always keep the workpiece on the side of the wheel that is rotating down toward the table. This will keep the workpiece from flying out of your hands from the rota- tional forces.
To perform angle sanding operations:
1.Loosen the knob securing the table.
2.Use the angle gauge to acheive the desired table angle and tighten the handles. Note— The disc table can be positioned from 0˚ to 45˚, relative to the plane of the sanding sur- face.
3.Slide the miter gauge into the miter slot and use the miter gauge to hold your workpiece in position.
4.With light, but firm pressure, push the work- piece slowly into the downspin side of the rotating disc (Figure 19).

5.Move the workpiece slowly back and forth across the downspin side of the disc.
Installing Table on
Sanding Belt
The disc sanding table can be removed and installed on the sanding belt bed when the sand- ing belt bed is vertical. This gives the operator more working room when using the sanding belt.
To install the table on the sanding belt bed:
1.Disconnect the machine from the power source!
2.Raise the belt bed to vertical and remove the back stop.
3.Remove the disc sanding table.
4.Place the index pin of the disc sanding table in the upper hole in the sanding belt table.
5.Rotate the sanding table perpendicular to the sanding belt and screw in the knob as shown in Figure 20.
