table inserts. The inserts are designed to reduce the gap
between the spindle and the table opening. The hole in
each insert is oblong to allow clearance when the table is

Turn sander
ON
and allow spindle to reach full speed.
2.
Use both hands to maintain control of workpiece,
and guide it against rotation of spindle, as shown in
Figure

. DO NOT force workpiece against sanding
sleeve. Use light pressure and allow machine to do
the work.
Spindle sanding is typically used for inside curves and
irregular shapes. The oscillating spindle moves up and
down as it rotates to distribute the scratch pattern so it
doesn't leave deep sanding lines. It also helps to avoid
burns and maximize sandpaper life.
