The sanding drum and conveyor must be parallel to one
another to obtain accurate sanding results. This setting
is made at the factory and should not have to be made
again. However, if it is necessary to adjust the sanding
drum and conveyor parallel to each other, follow the pro-
cedure below.
This process requires multiple accurate measurements,
patience, and trial-and-error. Keep in mind that having
the sanding drum parallel to the top of the conveyor belt
is critical to the sanding operation (see
=`^li\30). The
goal is to bring the sanding drum and conveyor parallel to
one another within 0.005" from side-to-side.
Using a dial indicator is probably the most accurate meth-
od of taking measurement for this procedure. However,
you can use gauge blocks and feeler gauges to attain
acceptable results.
To make gauge blocks, square up a 7' long 2" x 4" board
(refer to your jointer and planer manuals for detailed
instructions), then cut it in half.
