W1730 Oscillating Edge Sander

Sanding Spindle

The Model W1730 comes with a spindle sanding attachment for sanding curved surfaces. The included sanding drums measure 1-1/2", 2", and 3" in diameter. The spindle table may also be used on the end of the sanding belt if so desired. Be sure to periodically adjust the table height to minimize spot wear on the spindle/belt.

1.Release the dust port cover latch, open the cover, then latch the cover to the belt access door.

2.Remove the three cap screws and false cover from the sanding belt drum.

3.Line up the screw holes and place the spindle into the sanding belt drum.

4.Thread the cap screws removed in Step 2 into the sanding belt drum and tighten evenly and securely as shown in Figure 17.

5.Slide a sanding drum onto the spindle, and insert the 5/16" spindle washer and 5/16-18 x 1/2 hex bolt into the top of the spindle.

6.Insert the rod into the side of the spindle to anchor it and tighten the hex bolt as shown in Figure 18.

Figure 19.
