BELT FINISHING

• Finishing flat surfaces: Hold workplace firmly with both
hands; keep fingers away from abrasive bell Use belt

DUST COLLECTION

• Finishing long plies:
remove bait tebte. Apply only enough
pressure to allow abrasive belt to remove material.

Refer to Figures 21 and 22.
This sander has a built-in dust collection system. Them are
two gates that control the suction pressure, There Is one gate
at the belt dusl chute and one gate located beneath the
spindle table.

•

Finishing curved edges: Finish outside curves on fiat portion of abrasive belt. Finish inside curves on idler d_um portion of abrasive belt.
Finishing end grain: it is more convenient to finish ends of
long workpieces with the abrasive belt in a vertical position.
Use belt table. Move work evenly across abrasive belt. For
accuracy, use miter gauge. Table may be _lted for bevelect
