W1730 Oscillating Edge Sander
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.

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.
7. Insert the spindle table assembly shaft into the
opening in the idler roller bracket as shown in
Figure 19.

hole in the idler roller bracket. Note : The handle is
spring loaded and can be used as a ratchet.
