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 0.006" (0.15 mm) (approx.
1 ⁄
4
turn of
the handwheel). each full turn of the crank handle
raises the conveyor table approximately 0.027"
(0.69 mm). attempts to remove too much material
can cause jamming, wood burning, rapid paper
wear or tearing, poor finish, belt slippage, and
motor damage.
to set the depth of cut:
1. rotate the crank handle (figure 15) until
the conveyor table is well below the sanding
drum, place the workpiece on the table, then
raise the table, until the front pressure roller
just touches the top of the workpiece.
Note: When adjusting the table to sand a
thicker workpiece, lower and then raise the
table to remove backlash from the adjust-
ment mechanism. If the table is lowered too
far, the conveyor belt may rub against the
chain, leaving grease on the belt.
2. turn the sander ON, start the conveyor (see
variable Speed on Page 22), and feed the
workpiece into the sander. sloWly raise
the conveyor table until the workpiece makes
light contact with the sanding drum. this
is the correct height to begin sanding the
workpiece.
