Sanding Tips
•
Replace the sanding belt with a higher grit
to achieve a finer finish (refer to
Installing/
Changing Sanding Belt on Page 20).
•
Extend the life of the sanding belt by regularly
using PRO-STIK® abrasive belt cleaners
(see
Accessories on Page 24).
•
When sanding workpieces with a bow or
crown, place the high point up on the table
to prevent the workpiece from rocking, then
take very light passes.
•
Hold workpiece securely with both hands.
Use work table and miter gauge whenever
possible to support workpiece. Do not force
the workpiece against the belt.
•
Sanding belts clog and wear. Change sand-
ing belt whenever you notice a difference in
sanding quality/performance.
•
To increase the life of the sanding belt and
ensure even wear, move the workpiece back
and forth across the sanding surface.
•
Avoid sanding a workpiece more than is
necessary, since doing so will unnecessarily
decrease belt life and cost you more money
over time.
Moving belt can cause serious personal
injury if it comes in contact with fingers,
hands, or other body parts. Always support
workpiece against table and/or miter gauge
when sanding. Use extreme care to provide
safe distance between belt and any body
part.
Choosing
Sanding Belts
This machine uses a 19
5

" x 41
1
⁄

" belt. Below is a
chart that groups abrasives into different classes,
and shows which grits fall into each class.
We recommend using aluminum-oxide sand-
ing belts for best results. The grit you choose
will depend on the condition and species of wood,
and the level of finish you wish to achieve.
The general rule of thumb is to sand or grind a
workpiece with progressively higher grit num-
bers—in increments of 50 or less. Avoid skipping
grits; the larger the grit increase at one time, the
harder it will be to remove the scratches from the
previous grit.
Note: Sandpaper finer than 180-grit will easily
load up or burn workpieces.
