Tips For Maximum Performance

 

The versatility designed into the 19-38 Combo allows it to be used for a wide-ranging variety of tasks that will 
boost the return on your investment. Learning to use its multiple adjustments and controls will allow you to 
fine-tune  the  machine  for  maximum  results,  regardless  of  the  job  to  be  done.  The  best  results  come  from 
experimenting with different machine adjustments to fit the job at hand. Following is a listing of useful tips 
which can help you improve performance of your brush sander.

 

 

TIPS 

 
Dust  Collection. 

When  connecting  dust  collectors,  remember  that  straight  pipe  will  not  restrict  airflow  as 

much as flexible tubing. Also, Ys and elbows will

 

restrict airflow less than Ts.

 

Brushing Multiple Pieces At Once. 

When brushing multiple pieces simultaneously, make sure to stagger (step) 

the pieces across the width of the conveyor belt. This provides better contact with the tension rollers. Try to 
only process multiple pieces of similar thickness. If there is a significant thickness difference, the thinner pieces 
can slip on the conveyor belt if they do not contact the tension rollers. When brushing high stock, special care is 
needed to prevent tipping.

 

 

Brushing Imperfect Stock. 

To avoid personal injury,  take  special  care  when  sanding/brushing  stock  that  is 

twisted, bowed, or otherwise varies in thickness from end to end. If possible, support such stock as it is being 
brushed to keep it from slipping or tipping. Use extra roller stands, help from another person, or hand pressure 
on the stock, to minimize potentially hazardous situations.

 

 

 Stock Feeding Angle. Some pieces, because of their dimensions, will need to be fed into the machine at a 90°    
 angle (perpendicular to the brush). However, even a slight offset angle of the stock can provide for more    

 effective sanding/brushing on some stock (Fig. 13). 
 

 Keeping the Machine Clean. 

For best results, make cleaning the machine a regular shop procedure. Allowing   

 

excess build-up of dust and debris can adversely affect performance, slippage on the conveyor belt, and/or the   

 accumulation of material on the brush which can throw off the center of balance. Leave the dust collector on   
 when cleaning dust from the drum or brush. Also sweep the conveyor belt after cleaning operations. If not   

 cleaned, the conveyor belt could allow stock to slip during operation. 
 

  

 

Do Not Re-wire machine to 220 volt.
