Sanding with the belt in the vertical
position
Sometimes sanding on the belt is more
convenient when it is positioned vertically
– or at any angle in between 0 & 90
degrees.
To adjust, loosen the locking screw using
the 5mm hex key. Position the belt bed
as required and then re-tighten the
screw.
Always use the work table or back stop to
support the workpiece.
Sanding with the Disc
The disc sander is ideally suited to
smoothing end grain and fine-tuning
angled cuts with the aid of the mitre
guide.
Whenever possible use the front half of
the exposed disc as this will hold the
workpiece down against the table.
If it is necessary to use the full width of
the disc, care must be taken to hold the
workpiece firmly as the rear half will tend
to cause it to lift off the table.
Keep the workpiece moving to achieve
the best finish.
