Variable speed knob.
Variable.Speed
The variable speed knob allows you to increase the
feed rate from 2.47–17.3 FPM. The correct speed to use
depends on the type of stock you are using (hardwood
vs. softwood) and the stage of finish you are at with that
workpiece.
As a general rule, a slower feed rate sands the surface
smoother, but runs the risk of burning the wood; a faster
feed rate removes material faster, but runs the risk of
overloading the motor.
Use trial-and-error to determine the best settings for your
specific applications.
To.adjust.the.conveyor.speed,.do.these.steps:
1.
Start the conveyor.
2.
Rotate the variable speed knob (see
Figure.
12
) clockwise to increase the feed speed, or
counterclockwise to decrease the feed speed.

Run wide stock through two or three times without
adjusting the table height. Turn the stock 180°
between passes to ensure an even cut.
