To ensure the workpiece is supported during
spindle sanding operations, use the table insert
and throat plate that matches the corresponding
drum and sleeve (see table below). It is important
to keep the gap between the throat plate and
drum as small as possible to reduce the risk of a
pinch injury.
To install sanding drum/sleeve:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Use table in Figure 16 to select required size
of components for sanding drum/sleeve size
you have chosen.

and 2" sanding sleeves for sanding a variety of
different curves.
Spindle sanding is performed to sand inside
curves and irregular shapes. The oscillating spin-
dle moves up and down as it rotates to help cre-
ate a smooth surface that accurately follows your
layout line.
To use the spindle sander, you must first config-
ure the machine for spindle sanding by installing
the appropriate sanding drum/sleeve for your
operation.
Note: The 1/2" sanding sleeve does not use a
sanding drum, but mounts directly to the spindle
shaft.
1. Turn sander ON and allow it to reach full
speed.
2. Use both hands to maintain control of
workpiece, and guide it against rotation of
spindle, as shown in
Figure 18. DO NOT
force workpiece against sanding sleeve.
Allow the machine to do the work.
