-14- G3105 Combination Sander
Disc sanding is well suited for finishing small flat
surfaces and curved edges. The down (right)
side of the disc is the working area. The disc
moves fastest and removes the most material at
the outer edge. A miter gauge that fits in the slot
in the table is provided. Use it to secure the work-
piece and to hold the proper angle when disc
sanding. See
Figure 10 .
Tilt table to the desired sharpening angle and
tighten the locking knobs. Using C-Clamps,
attach a suitable wood scrap to the table. This
wood table should allow the flat shank of the chis-
el or knife to sit flat so the proper angle against
the disc can be achieved. See
Figure 11. This
acts as an auxiliary table to support the work-
piece. This table should be
1 ⁄
16
" away from the
belt. It may be necessary to cut a notch in your
auxiliary table to achieve this clearance.

much pressure while sanding.
