Wrapping Abrasive Strips
Note: When using JET “Ready to Wrap” and
“Ready to Cut” abrasives, not all of the steps below
are necessary. You can use the original abrasive
belt that came with the sander as a template for
cutting your own strips.
1. Mark and cut a taper at one end of the roll, as
shown in Figure 8.
2. Square off the end of the taper, as shown in
Figure 8.
Figure 8
3. Squeeze the fastener lever (A, Fig. 9) on the
outboard end of drum, and insert the tapered
end of the
abrasive (B, Fig. 9) so that it uses
most of the width of the slot. Release the
fastener lever to securely hold the strip end to
the fastener.
4. The square edge of the abrasive strip should
follow the edge of the drum, as shown in
Figure 9.
5. Wrap the abrasive strip around the drum, being
careful not to overlap the windings, as shown in
Figure 10.
6. Mark the trailing end of the strip where it
crosses the inboard end of drum (C, Fig. 11).
7. Remove the abrasive strip and cut a taper as
was done with the starting edge (Figure 8).
Note: The taper on the remaining roll can be
used as the taper for the starting edge of the
next strip to be cut.
8. Rewrap the drum starting at the left side as
described in steps 3-5.
9. Squeeze the fastener lever on the inboard end
of the drum, and insert the tapered end of the
abrasive strip through the slot into the take-up
fastener.
Position the abrasive strip with
sufficient room between the inside of the slot
and the tapered end of the strip to allow it to be
pulled into the drum as needed, (See Figure 12).
