Basic Sanding

The normal sanding depth for most workpieces is

⁄

". This depth can be achieved by

approximately a

⁄

turn of the table height

handwheel. For each turn of the handwheel, the

conveyor table moves approximately 0.021" See

Figure 43.

Remember, heavy cuts and/or a feed rate that is

too fast can jam or burn the workpiece, instantly

burn the sandpaper, slip the drive belts and give

poor sanding results. See Figures 44 and 45.

To help prevent these conditions, make the

correct depth of cut; and for wide workpieces,

sand them two or three times without adjusting

the table height. Also, turn the stock 180° to

ensure an even cut.

TIP: When you sand dark-colored wood and then

you sand light-colored wood, pass a PRO-STIK

15" x 20" cleaning pad through the drum sander so

the light-colored wood will not become stained

from the previously sanded dark wood.
