knob  will  come  on  when  INTELLISAND  is 
operating.  (Fig.  11  a)  When  the  load  is  decreased, 
INTELLISAND will automatically increase the feed 
rate to the pre-selected speed.  INTELLISAND 

does 

not 

engage when brush sanding or if drum sanding at 

a slower RPM than recommended.

 

Setting Brush Depth of Cut/Contact

 

When  a  nylon  or  wire  brush  is  worn  and  needs 
changing,  the  bristles will  either  have  fractured  and 

the  brush  head  looks  “bald”  or  the  bristle  length

 

has worn and the bristles are too short for effective 
brushing.

 

When an abrasive or cloth brush is worn, the brushing 
material  will  become  smooth,  or  the  brush  will  be 
considerably smaller in diameter as compared to new. 
Please call SuperMax Tools if you have any questions. 
Brush life can vary considerably, due to RPM, contact, 
type of brush, and material being brushed.

 

Some types of brush heads, some flatter brushes, for 
example, will allow changing of the brush material by 
the operator.

 

When  using  a  wire  brush  for  “distressing”  wood, 

slowing  brush  RPM,  using  light  contact  and  a 
moderate feed rate generally will give the best finish 
and longest brush life. When using a wire brush on 
metal,  it  is  important  to  use  a  light  contact  of  the 
bristle  tips. 

Nylon  Brushes. 

If  a  nylon  brush 

becomes uneven dressing the tips of bristle brush to 
maintain uniform brush wear will be a benefit.

 

Dressing Instructions:

 

Staple  or  glue a  wide sheet  of  60  grit  sandpaper  to 

a  1/2”  thick  fla

t  wood  surface.  Strips  of  narrow 

sandpaper can also be used. Lower the brush so the 
tips of the bristles contact the sandpaper by 

1/32”.

 Set 

the conveyor speed to approximately 50% feed rate. 
Pass the abrasive loaded board through the machine 
until the brush fibers are sharp and even.

 

Setting Drum Depth of Cut

 

Determining  the  depth  of  cut  is  the  most 
IMPORTANT set-up procedure before operating as 
a drum sander. 

It may take some experimentation to 

determine the proper depth of cut, given the variables

 

 

of abrasive grit, type of wood, and conveyor feed rate. 
Practicing on scrap before sanding a project can be 
beneficial.

 

A good rule-of-thumb when sanding is to place the 
workpiece  under  the  drum  and  lower  the  sanding 
head until the workpiece contacts the drum, but the 
drum  can  still  be  rotated  by  hand.  When  making 
successive  passes,  lower  the  sanding  head  no  more 
than the thickness of the grit abrasive, I.e., 1/8-1/16 
of a turn for 80 grit and less for finer grits. 

Note: 

one 

revolution of the height adjustment handle moves the 
sanding head approximately 

1/16”.

 

Depth Gauge Operation

 

The depth gauge (see Fig. 5) measures the distance 
between  the  conveyor  table  and  the  bottom  of  the 
sanding  brush  or  drum.  The  sanding  head  must 
be parallel to the conveyor bed surface. To calibrate 
the depth gauge, loosen the two screws holding the 
scale. Lower the brush or sanding head (with abrasive 
installed)  until  the  head  touches  the  conveyor  belt. 

Slide  the  scale  to  align  with  the  pointer  at  the  “0” 

mark.  Tighten the two screws holding the scale. An 
optional DRO (digital read out) for depth is available. 
Fig. 12. This offers the most precise reading of sanded 
thickness  and  allows  for  accurate  repeatability  of  a 
thickness.  Great when making parts that must be an 
exact thickness or when matching a thickness.

 

To operate, turn ON and select standard inch 

“in”

 or 

metric millimeter 

“mm”.

  Lower drum, with abrasive 

installed,  until  it  touches  the  conveyor  belt.  Press 

“zero” button to calibrate.
