piece side to side along downward spinning
half of sanding disc to prevent burning work-
piece and excessive loading of sandpaper.
Sanding Outside Curves
To sand outside curves:
1. Remove miter gauge.
2. Turn machine ON.

feed it into downward spinning half of sanding
disc.
4. Using light pressure, slowly move workpiece
side to side along downward spinning half of
sanding disc to prevent burning workpiece
and excessive loading of sandpaper.
The Model G0787 disc sander can be used to
sand convex (outside) curves. Since the miter
gauge is not used for this operation, use both
hands to hold the workpiece.
The Model G0787 belt sander bed tilts from 0° –
90°, allowing for both horizontal and vertical belt
sanding.
The horizontal position is generally used for sand-
ing with the grain along the length of a workpiece,
and for sanding inside curves.
The vertical position is best used with the work
table attached to the bed, for miter sanding and
sanding outside curves.
