The table can be adjusted up or down to allow the operator to use more surface area of the sanding belt. Adjusting the height will also prevent the platen graphite and sanding belt from wearing out in one place.
To adjust the table:
1.Loosen the lock handles that secure the L supports and the lead screw.
2.Turn the lead screw handwheel (shown in Figure 22) to raise or lower the table to the desired height.

3.Tighten all of the lock handles.
The Model G0512 accepts a 6" x 80" sanding belt.
There are many types of sanding belts to choose from. We recommend Aluminum Oxide for gener- al workshop environments. Below is a chart that groups abrasive types into different classes, and shows which grits fall into each class.
Grit | Type |
60Coarse
Fine | |
220 | 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 50.
