OPERATING THE 16-32 DRUM SANDER (CONTINUED)
• Drum Head Height Adjustments
The drum height can be adjusted using one of two methods determined by the position of the height adjust-
ment selector.
CONVEYOR AND SPEED RATE
After the depth of cut has been determined, selecting the proper feed rate is essential. For finish sanding the best
finish is usually achieved with a slow to moderate feed rate. This allows for the most revolutions of the drum per
inch of sanding. Faster feed rates can be used as long as the machine is not over-stressed.
When finish sanding with grits finer than 80, the best finish can usually be obtained if INTELLISAND does not
engage. If INTELLISAND does slow the conveyor when finish sanding, it is best to make another sanding pass
without changing the thickness setting and sand again.
Note: INTELLISAND will automatically adjust the conveyor feed rate if an excess load is detected. This prevents
excessive gouging, reduces the risk of burning and protects the machine from overload or stalling. The red light
by the adjustment knob will come on when INTELLISAND is operating. When the load is decreased, INTELLISAND
will automatically increase the feed rate to the pre-selected speed.
STOCK FEEDING OPERATION
To feed stock through the sander rest the stock and hold the stock to be sanded on the conveyor table. Allow the
conveyor to carry the stock into the drum. Once the stock is halfway through, reposition yourself to the outfeed
side of the machine to receive and control the stock as it exits the unit.
STOCK FEEDING MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE
The built-in versatility of the SuperMax Tools 16-32 drum sander allows it to be used for a wide range of tasks.
Learning to use the multiple controls to make adjustments will allow you to fine tune the machine for maximum
results no matter what the job. The best results come from experimenting with different machine adjustments
to best fit the job at hand.
With the selector in the quick lever position the main
handle is disengaged and the head will float freely.
Quick large-scale adjustments of up to 3” can then be
made by pulling up or down on the Quick Lever.
Note: After completing height adjustments in quick lever
mode always return the selector back to micro adjustment
mode to lock the head in place.
In the micro adjustment position turning the main
height adjustment handle controls the height of the
drum. Clockwise for Up and counter-clockwise for
Down.
Note: One full turn of the handle raises or lowers the head
approximately 1/16” (each quarter turn = 1/64”)
