Angle (Perpendicular to the Drums). However, even a slight offset angle of the stock will provide for more effective
stock removal. The optimum feeding angle for stock removal is about 60°
(See Figure 17-Below) . Angling the
workpiece for stock removal provides other advantages, such as less loading of certain areas of the drums due to
glue lines or mineral streaks in the stock, more even wear of abrasive strips, potentially faster feed rates, and lighter
loads on the motor. Note that to get the best final finish, however, the stock should be fed through the machine so it
will be sanded in line with the grain of the wood on the final one or two passes.
Cleaning Abrasive Strips- Regularly clean the abrasive strips on the drums with commercially available cleaning
sticks, following the manufacturer’s directions. (See Figure 18-See Below) Cleaning sticks are available from your
dealer or from Supermax Tools . When cleaning, also brush the stick crumbs from the drum while it is still
rotating.
Important: Wear eye protection, tight-fitting clothes and keep alert during this operation to avoid injury. Cloth
backed abrasives can be cleaned by soaking in paint thinner or mineral spirits for 20 minutes to 1 hour, then using
a brush to remove any build-up or burns. Dry the abrasive strips completely before reuse. In some cases, build-ups
resulting from burns can be removed with Plexiglas held on edge over a rotating drum. Have dust collection turned
on when cleaning.
Stretching Abrasive Life- When sanding metal or solid surface, MDF, or particle board , ceramic abrasive
(Regalite™) will last longer than aluminum oxide and allow a more uniform finish. Abrasive life can also be
increased on SUPERMAX machines by removing the abrasive strip from the drum and reversing it. To do this,
remove the strip and use what was the trailing end as the starting end on the left (outboard) side of the drum.
