SANDING DRUM DEFLECTION
Before beginning the sanding drum alignment procedures outlined in the following
section, ensure that minimal upward deflection of the sanding drum occurs when
sanding. The three primary causes of excessive sanding deflection are:
1. Excessive depth of cut.
Decrease the depth of cut to minimize pressure on the
sanding drum assembly. Refer to the Introduction to Drum Sanding
section for hints regarding depth of cuts.
2.
Loose Elevation Tension Screws.
Refer to Step 1 in the Drum Alignment section
for hints regarding depth of cuts.
3.
Loose Motor/Sanding Drum Assembly Mounting Bolts.

tightness of the four (4) bolts, 2 upper and 2 lower, and tighten as needed.
