Wrapping Abrasive Strips

 

Note:  When  using  Pre-Marked

  or  Pre-Cut

 

abrasives, not all of the steps below are necessary.

 

Proper attachment of the abrasive strip to the drum 
is  critical  to  achieving  top  performance  from  your 
SuperMax Tools drum sander. Abrasive strips do not 
have to be pre-measured. The end of the roll is first 
tapered and attached to the left (outboard) side of the 
drum.  Then  the  strip  is  wrapped  around  the  drum, 
and the second taper is made for attachment to the 
right (inboard) side of the drum. To attach a strip to 
the drum, follow the procedure below.

 

1.

 

 

Mark  and  cut  a  taper  at  one  end  of  the  roll  as 

shown in Fig. 16a. Because the tapered end should 
use most of the left (outboard) slot width, its end 
must  be  trimmed  (Fig.  16B  and  16C).  Raise  the 
clip lever on the left (outboard) side of the drum 
(Fig. 16D). Insert the tapered end through the slot 
and  into  the  fastener  so  that  it  uses  most  of  the 
width of the slot. Release the clip lever to securely 
hold the strip end in the fastener.

 

2.

 

 

Wrap  the  strip  around  the  drum,  being  careful 

not  to  overlap  the  windings.  The  tapered  cut  of 
the strip end should follow the edge of the drum. 
Continue to wrap the abrasive in a spiral fashion by 
rotating the drum with your left hand and guiding 
the strip with your right hand (Fig 16E). Successive 
windings of the strip should be flush with previous 
windings without any overlap.

 

3.

 

Mark the trailing end of the strip where it crosses the 

right (inboard) end of the drum (Fig. 16F). From 
this point, cut a taper as was done with the starting 
edge of the strip. (The taper on the remaining roll 
can be used as the taper for the starting edge of the 
next strip to be cut.)

 

4.

 

With  the  trailing  edge  of  the  strip  properly  cut, 
rewrap  the  drum  and  insert  the  tapered  end 
through the slot in the right (inboard) end of the 
drum. Insert the tapered end into the inboard take- 
up fastener. Pull up on the clip lever to open the 
clip, and pull the take-up lever to the top as shown 
(Fig. 16G). After inserting the strip end, release the 
clip lever by moving your index finger toward the 
drum slot. This allows the clip to retain the abrasive 
while holding the take-up lever in an 

“up”position.

 

5.

 

The take-up fastener is designed to automatically 
take  up  any  slack  caused  by  stretching  of  the 
abrasive strip. 

Important:  Position  the  abrasive 

strip in the slot with sufficient room between the 
inside of the slot and the tapered end of the strip to 
allow it to be pulled into the drum as needed (Fig. 
16H). Note that not leaving enough space between 
the strip and the inside of the slot will prevent the 
take-up fastener from operating properly.

 

6.

 

The abrasive strip may stretch enough in use to allow 

the take-up lever to reach its lowest position so it no 
longer is able to maintain tension on the strip (Fig. 
16I). If this occurs, it will be necessary to reset the 
take-up lever by raising it, pushing the strip end into 
the slot, and then releasing the clip lever.

 

Note: 

A  sandpaper  cleaning  stick  may  be  used  to 

remove deposits and help extend sandpaper life. To 
use,  operate  the  sanding  drum  with  the  dust  cover 
open. (

Caution: 

For your own safety, always wear eye 

protection while performing sandpaper cleaning, and 
take all precautions to avoid any contact of hands or 
clothing  with  uncovered  drums.)  Hold  the  cleaning 
stick against the rotating drum and move it along the 
drum surface. It is good procedure to use a shop brush 
to remove any cleaning stick crumbs from the drums 
before resuming sanding operations.
