Model:
S4SWB is a 4” x 36” wet bench top belt sander, belt speed 3600 SFPM, integral cabinet and
coolant tank, submersible pump, 1/2HP 1PH 115V.
Coolant:
Use a rust inhibiting coolant. Consult your dealer for coolant specifications.
Work area:
The usable belt work are is 4” wide x 6” long. Sanding belt grits vary from course to very
fine. The higher the grit number the finer the sand paper. Consult your dealer for abrasive sanding
belts. Belt size: 4” x 36” wet belt.
Belt tracking:
See tracking pictures. Use tracking bolt (
B, #11
on parts sheet) to twist upper yoke
(
#7
) to track sanding belt left or right. Both the aluminum drive pulley (located on the motor) is
crowned along with upper idler pulley (located on the yoke
#7
). This keeps the belt centered or
“tracked”. The opposing spring (
#10
) and bolt (
#11
) on the opposite side of the yoke (
#7
) keeps the
yoke position.
Belt changing:
See tracking sheet pictures. With power
OFF
, squeeze the sanding belt with your
hand to compress the belt tension spring (
#10
). With the other hand line up the cam (
A, #15
) on the
tension shaft to maintain compression of the spring (
#10
). Remove the sanding belt and replace with
a new belt. Repeat the squeezing of the belt and reposition the cam 90 degree to the tension shaft
(
#6
) to allow re-tensioning of the belt. Jog the on/off switch to see that the belt is tracking (centered
on the pulleys). You are now ready to run.
Maintenance:
Keep the units integral coolant tank cleaned out. To clean out the tank, direct the
coolant line away from the machine into a bucket/bowl, etc.. Wipe out the swarf in the bottom of the
tank. Vary your sanding area on the sanding frame to spread out the “wear” on the sanding frame.
Dishing of the cast frame from wear will cause belt breaking.
Tracking problem:
If the sanding belt is not tracking or “centered” more than likely the “crown” on
the drive pulley is worn down flat and the belt cannot seek the “high” spot. Replace the drive. The
only bearings that may fail over time would be the idler pulley bearings on the idler pulley. Replace
the idler pulley
Safety:
See safety sheet.
