Maximum Depth of Cut | Approx. 0.016" (1⁄64") |
The optimum depth of cut will vary based on the type of wood, conveyor feed rate, and sandpaper grit. Attempting to remove too much material can cause jamming, wood burning, rapid sanding belt wear or tearing, poor finish, or belt slippage.
Under most conditions, the sanding depth should not exceed 0.016" for any one pass. Each full turn of the ele- vation handwheel changes the height of the sanding belt from the workpiece approximately 0.025", with approxi- mately 2⁄3 of a turn equal to the recommended 0.016" change in depth.
When properly adjusted, the depth of cut safety bar (see =`^li\)() is an excellent tool for setting the ]`ijkdepth of cut. Refer to ;\gk_f]:lkJX]\kp9Xi on GX^\*, for more information.

Position the workpiece and sanding cabinet so that the bottom of the safety bar just touches the workpiece. This will set the sanding belt approximately 0.016" lower than the top surface of the workpiece. Then rotate the handwheel one full turn clockwise to raise the sanding belt high enough so that the first pass will take off any high spots. For additional passes, rotate the handwheel
2⁄3 of a turn counterclockwise to lower the sanding belt approximately 0.016".

The amperage load meter on the control panel (see =`^li\))) shows how much amperage the sanding motor is drawing for the operation, or how hard the machine is working. If the depth of cut or the conveyor feed rate becomes too great, the sanding motor will draw an exces- sive amount of current (amperage), which may trip the circuit breaker or damage the machine.
Always keep your depth of cut within recommended spec- ifications and monitor the conveyor feed rate so that the amperage load meter stays in the green SAFE range dur- ing the entire operation.
