For the Model g0459/g0459p drum sander
to function properly, the sanding drum must be
aligned in two directions: (1) parallel to the con-
veyor belt (see
figure 29 below) and (2) perpen-
dicular to feed direction (see figure 30).

the drums can be adjusted in fine increments at
the pillow block bearings and in larger increments
by using the table lift screws (
Page 37).
While adjusting the drum, keep in mind that hav-
ing the drum parallel to the conveyor belt is critical
to the sanding operation. Care should be taken to
make the tolerances as close as possible (within
0.002" from one side to the other) when adjusting
the drum height.
the tolerances for having the drum perpendicular
to the feed direction are much more forgiving,
even allowing up to
1 ⁄
8
" difference from one side
to the other before causing problems.
