Note: Variables such as feed rate, depth of the cut, and the type of sanding belt can play a big part in determining the proper amount of downward pressure exerted by the rollers. Some experimentation may be necessary to achieve the desired results. However, under no circum- stances should the pressure rollers be set even, or higher than, the sanding roller.
