SECTION 5: ADJUSTMENTS

Proper adjustment of the Combination Sander is essential to ensure its optimum performance. The adjustments covered in this section are easily accomplished.

Tables

Tables should be square in both planes to exe- cute precise work. Procedures for accomplishing this are described below.

1.Adjust the miter gauge to 90°. You can use it as a reference point from which to make other adjustments.

2.Place the miter gauge in the table slot and, with a high-quality machinist’s or combina- tion square against the face of the miter gauge, check the tables for squareness against the sanding surfaces. See Figures 8 and 9.

3.If either table is out of square, loosen the bolts that attach the table to the trunnion and adjust the table until it is square to the disc or belt. Tighten the table and re- inspect results.

Figure 9. Squaring disc table.

Positive Stops

Positive stops are used to move the tables to dif- ferent positions quickly, without measurement. The belt table has two positive stops (one at 45° and one at 90°) and the disc table has one (at 90°).

To Adjust the Belt Table Positive Stops:

1.Loosen the lock handle.

2.Flip block into the 90° position.

3.Use a square to verify the accuracy to the stop.

4.If the stop is engaged and the table isn’t quite perpendicular to the belt, adjust the stop by turning the setscrew in or out as needed. See Figure 10.

5.Flip the block back to its former position, then back to 90° to double-check accuracy.
