Basic Sanding
The normal sanding depth for most workpieces is
1
⁄
64
". This depth can be achieved by approximately
a
3
⁄
4
turn of the table height handwheel. For
each turn of the handwheel, the conveyor table
moves approximately 0.021" See
Figure 43
.
Remember, heavy cuts and/or a feed rate that is
too fast can jam or burn the workpiece, instantly
burn the sandpaper, slip the drive belts and give
poor sanding results. See
Figures 44
and
45
.
To help prevent these conditions, make the
correct depth of cut; and for wide workpieces,
sand them two or three times without adjusting
the table height. Also, turn the stock 180° to
ensure an even cut.
TIP:
When you sand dark-colored wood and then
you sand light-colored wood, pass a PRO-STIK
®
15" x 20" cleaning pad through the drum sander so
the light-colored wood will not become stained
from the previously sanded dark wood.
