Operation Safety

SECTION 4: OPERATIONS

or equipment before, WE STRONGLY REC-

OMMEND that you read books, trade maga-

zines, or get formal training before begin-

ning any projects. Regardless of the con-

Depth of Cut

The optimum depth of cut will vary based on
the type of wood, feed rate, and sandpaper grit.
Under most sanding conditions, the depth should
not exceed

⁄

" or 0.4mm (approx.

⁄

turn of the

handwheel).  Each  full  turn  of  the  table  height
handwheel  raises  the  conveyor  table  approxi-
mately  0.020"  (0.5mm).  Attempts  to  remove  too
much material can cause jamming, wood burning,
rapid  paper  wear  or  tearing,  poor  finish  and  belt
slippage.

To set the depth of cut:

1. Rotate the table height handle (Figure 16)

until the table is too low, then raise the table,
allowing a gap between the workpiece and
the sanding drum.

Note:  When  adjusting  the  table  to  sand  a
thicker  workpiece,  lower  and  then  raise  the
table  to  remove  backlash  from  the  adjust-
ment mechanism.

2. Start the conveyor and sanding drums and

feed the workpiece into the sander. SLOWLY
raise the conveyor table until the workpiece
makes light contact with the sanding drums.
This is the correct height to begin sanding the
workpiece.
