Bevel Sanding
Procedures
Adjust the table to the desired angle and secure
it into position with the trunnion lock handles as
shown in
Figure 19
. With the sander turned off,
rotate the spindle by hand to ensure it does not
make contact with the table insert.
When marking the finish line on your workpiece,
always mark on the outside, or longest, edge of
the bevel as shown in
Figure 20
. This allows the
finish line to be viewed on the top side of the
workpiece.
NOTICE
All of the general sanding rules that apply to
standard sanding apply to bevel sanding.
NOTICE
Bevel sanding on a spindle sander is
NOT
an
exact science. When the table is tilted to
45˚, the actual angle sanded on the edge of
a workpiece will change if the workpiece is
sanded at different positions around the spin-
dle.
Figure 19.
Use the lock handles to secure the
table at the desired angle.
Figure 20.
Mark the finish line on the longest
edge of the workpiece. This allows the finish
line to be viewed from the top of
the workpiece.
