Les grès moins fins peuvent parfois brunir le bois et laisser une surface brillante qui ne permet pas une répartition uniforme de la teinture.

Cela varie selon le type de bois. Le chêne par exemple est susceptible de brunir à cause de ses pores ouverts.

Nettoyage des bandes abrasives. Nettoyez régulièrement les bandes abrasives sur les tambours à l'aide des bâtons de nettoyage vendus dans le commerce, conformément aux directives du fabricant. Pour nettoyer les bandes abrasives doublées de tissus, trempez- les dans une laque fine ou dans de l'alcool

minéral pendant 20 minutes à 1 heure, puis utilisez une brosse pour retirer toute accumulation ou des brûlures. Séchez complètement les bandes abrasives avant de les utiliser à nouveau.

Prolongement de la durée de vie des bandes abrasives. Vous pouvez augmenter la durée de vie des bandes abrasives en les retirant du tambour et en l'inversant. Pour y parvenir, déposez la bande et utilisez l'extrémité rampante précédente comme extrémité de démarrage à droite du tambour. L'inversion de la bande fournit un nouveau jeu d'extrémités de coupe sur la bande abrasive.

Cadenas d'aiguillage

Pour protéger la machine contre toute manipulation non autorisée et pour éviter que des enfants ne la démarrent, il est vivement recommandé d'utiliser un cadenas (non fourni).

DDS-225, DDS-237 specifications

The Powermatic DDS-237 and DDS-225 are two advanced drill presses that have been engineered for woodworkers who demand precision and versatility in their projects. These machines are part of Powermatic’s commitment to providing high-quality tools that cater to both professional and hobbyist woodworkers.

One of the main features of the DDS-237 is its robust construction. With a heavy-duty cast iron base and column, this drill press offers exceptional stability, reducing vibrations during operation which leads to accurate drilling. The DDS-225 follows suit, providing a durable design that ensures reliability even in the most challenging work environments.

The DDS-237 comes equipped with a powerful 1 HP motor, offering variable speed control ranging from 250 to 3000 RPM, allowing users to select the perfect speed for various materials. This feature is particularly advantageous for woodworkers who work with different species of wood or even metal and plastic. The DDS-225, on the other hand, features a slightly less powerful motor but maintains the same level of versatility with multiple speed settings.

Another significant aspect of these drill presses is their user-friendly interface and adjustments. Both models boast an easy-to-read digital depth gauge, enabling precise depth adjustments. This feature is crucial for applications requiring repetitive drilling depths, such as doweling or creating mortises.

Both models also incorporate innovative technologies aimed at enhancing user safety and convenience. The patented Quick-Release chuck system allows for rapid and easy tool changes without the need for additional tools, saving valuable time during setup and operation. Furthermore, the built-in work light illuminates the workspace, improving visibility during intricate drilling tasks.

Dust collection is also a fundamental aspect of both models, with integrated ports designed to minimize debris in the workspace, creating a healthier and cleaner working environment.

The Powermatic DDS-237 and DDS-225 are not just machines but essential tools that combine power, precision, and safety. Whether for professional use or serious woodworking enthusiasts, these drill presses are designed to meet the demands of any project with reliability and efficiency.
