Connecting Sander to a Dust Collector 

 
Dust collection is necessary for all drum 
sanders.  The Performax 22-44 Plus is equipped 
with a 4” dust collection port at the top of the 
dust cover, and is designed to be used with a 
standard dust collector, see Figure 13. 
 
JET offers a variety of Dust Collectors and Air 
Filtration Units that will work nicely with your 
new sander.  Contact your local distributor for 
more information. 
 
 

Depth Gauge 

 
The depth gauge indicates the distance from the 
bottom of the drum to the top of the conveyor.   
 
1.  Lower the drum, with sandpaper installed, 

until it touches the conveyor. 

 
2.  Loosen hex nut (A, Fig. 14). 
 
3.  Adjust the pointer (B, Fig. 14) to read zero 

and tighten bolt. 

 
Note:  depending on the desired accuracy you 
may need to repeat this process when installing 
different sandpaper grits.   
 
 

Setting the Depth of Cut 

 
Adjusting the Performax 22-44 for proper 
contact between the abrasive and the stock is 
the most important set-up procedure before 
operating the sander.  It may take some 
experimentation to determine the proper depth 
of cut, given the variables of abrasive grit and 
type of wood.  For best results, use scrap wood 
to practice sanding and to develop skill and 
familiarity with the machine before doing finish 
work.  
 
A good rule of thumb when sanding with grits 
finer than 80 is lower the drum so that it contacts 
with work piece but still can be rotated by hand.  
When using grits coarser than 80 grit, you can 
lower the drum slightly more.  However, a 
combination of several variables will determine 
the proper depth of cut to use, including the 
following: 
 

• 

Abrasive type and grit size. 

• 

Width of the piece being processed. 

• 

Hardness of the piece. 

• 

Feed rate of stock. 

 
 

Establishing the Proper Drum Height 

 
To establish the proper drum height, place the 
board to be sanded under the drum and lower 
the drum to the board thickness.  Note:  
Sanding drum should still rotate by hand. 

 

Without changing drum height, finish feeding the 
stock under the sander.  Start sanding drum and 
sand the board at that same position.
