Mounting to a workbench
It is recommended that the belt and disc sander is
secured to a work bench to gain maximum stability
and prevent noise and vibration.
1. The belt and disc sander features 4 holes in the base
to help secure it to a workbench.
2. Using the base of the belt & disc sander as a
template mark the holes on the workbench through
the holes in the casting.
3. Drill the holes through the workbench using a
12.7mm 1/2 inch drill bit.
4. Bolt the belt and disc sander to the workbench
using bolts, washers and nuts.
Note
. The fasteners are not supplied with the machine.
Adjusting the rear platen
The platen is designed to support the workpiece when
using the belt sander. It should be adjusted so that it is
almost touching the sanding belt.
1. To adjust the
platen
first
tilt the sanding belt table to
a 45° angle to gain better
access to the 2 hex screws.
(Fig. 4)
2.
Loosen the 2 hex screws
securing the platen using
the 3mm hex key supplied.
3.
Adjust the platen so that
it is almost touching the
sanding belt.
4.
Tighten the 2 hex screws.
Adjusting the sanding disc table angle
1. Loosen the 2 handles securing the sanding
disc table.
2.
Lower the table to the desired angle
is reached, using the bevel scale as
a guide.
3. Tighten the 2 handles to secure the table in position.
Adjusting the belt sander table
1. For most belt sanding operations the table should
be set at a 90° angle to the sanding belt.
2.
To check if the table is set at 90° place a square
on the table and check if the table is at 90° to the
belt.
3.
If the table is not at 90° loosen the hex bolt at the
bottom of the table and then using the hex key
adjust the hex screw positioned at the top of
the table. Adjust the hex screw until the table is at
90° to the belt. (Fig. 5 & 6)
4.
Tighten the hex bolt to secure the hex screw in
position.
5. To tilt the table and perform belt sanding on an angle
loosen the handle securing the belt sander table.
6. Tilt the table to the desired angle and tighten the sanding
belt table handle.
Note.
Always adjust the table so that the gap between the
belt and the table is no larger than 1-5mm.
