Table Gap & Parallelism

The miter slot must be parallel with the face of the

sanding disc and there should be a

⁄

" gap between the

edge of the table and sanding disc. This gap should be

large enough so that the sandpaper does not rub against

the table, but small enough so that the gap is not a pinch

hazard.

Tools Needed:

Wrench 10mm ...................................................1

Ruler ..............................................................1

To set the table gap and parallelism, do these steps:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Loosen the six hex bolts that secure the table to the

table support brackets.

3. Adjust the table so that there is a

⁄

'' gap (

Figure

17) between the disc (with sandpaper installed) and

the edge of the table along its full length.

4. When the miter slot is parallel with the sanding disc,

tighten the hex bolts.

5. Spin the disc by hand to check if the sandpaper

touches the table.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT turn the disc sander ON at this

point.

— If the if the sandpaper touches the table at

any point in its rotation, re-adjust the table

parallelism.
