OPERATIONS
W1730 Oscillating Edge Sander
KEEP HANDS CLEAR of all pinch points
when adjusting the spindle table.
The spindle sander on the Model W1730 produces a high
quality sanding finish on inside contours. Make sure the
spindle table is properly installed with the correct table
insert for the spindle drum. Move the table on occasion
to reduce spot wear on the sleeve's.
To perform spindle sanding operations, do these steps:
1. Make sure that the appropriate spindle and table
insert have been installed correctly and both are
secured tightly.
2. Position the table in the desired location and turn
the power switch ON.
3. While securely holding the workpiece, lightly press
it against the spindle and maintain consistent
pressure against the table as shown in Figure 30.
Use extra caution when sanding end-grain.
4. When you have completed your sanding operation,
turn the power switch OFF.
Spindle Sanding
Figure 30. A typical spindle sanding
operation.
Proper use of the oscillating edge sander will yield
excellent sanding results due to the oscillating movement.
To perform an edge or end sanding operation, do these
steps:
1. Start the sander by turning the switch ON.
2. Support the workpiece against the back stop, and
slowly feed the workpiece into the moving belt,
as shown in Figure 31. Note: If you must feed a
workpiece into the sanding belt corner first, feed
the trailing corner first. Feeding the leading corner
first could cause the sanding belt to grab the
workpiece and jerk it out of your hands.
3. When you have completed your sanding operation,
turn the power switch OFF.
