Tips For Maximum Performance
The versatility designed into the 19-38 Combo allows it to be used for a wide-ranging variety of tasks that will
boost the return on your investment. Learning to use its multiple adjustments and controls will allow you to
fine-tune the machine for maximum results, regardless of the job to be done. The best results come from
experimenting with different machine adjustments to fit the job at hand. Following is a listing of useful tips
which can help you improve performance of your brush sander.
TIPS
Dust Collection.
When connecting dust collectors, remember that straight pipe will not restrict airflow as
much as flexible tubing. Also, Ys and elbows will
restrict airflow less than Ts.
Brushing Multiple Pieces At Once. When brushing multiple pieces simultaneously, make sure to stagger (step)
the pieces across the width of the conveyor belt. This provides better contact with the tension rollers. Try to
only process multiple pieces of similar thickness. If there is a significant thickness difference, the thinner pieces
can slip on the conveyor belt if they do not contact the tension rollers. When brushing high stock, special care is
needed to prevent tipping.
Brushing Imperfect Stock. To avoid personal injury, take special care when sanding/brushing stock that is
twisted, bowed, or otherwise varies in thickness from end to end. If possible, support such stock as it is being
brushed to keep it from slipping or tipping. Use extra roller stands, help from another person, or hand pressure
on the stock, to minimize potentially hazardous situations.
Stock Feeding Angle. Some pieces, because of their dimensions, will need to be fed into the machine at a 90°
angle (perpendicular to the brush). However, even a slight offset angle of the stock can provide for more
effective sanding/brushing on some stock (Fig. 13).
Keeping the Machine Clean. For best results, make cleaning the machine a regular shop procedure. Allowing
excess build-up of dust and debris can adversely affect performance, slippage on the conveyor belt, and/or the
accumulation of material on the brush which can throw off the center of balance. Leave the dust collector on
when cleaning dust from the drum or brush. Also sweep the conveyor belt after cleaning operations. If not
cleaned, the conveyor belt could allow stock to slip during operation.
Do Not Re-wire machine to 220 volt.
