Page 11: Using The Sander
Let the sander do the work. FINE FINISHING The action of the Porter-Cable Finishing Sander causes thousands of tiny abrasive grits to move in circular orbits against the work at high speed. Each grain moves in the same direction at a constant speed so the cutting action is uniform over the entire pad surface. -
Page 12: Maintenance
CABINETS AND DOORS The orbital motion of the Porter-Cable Finishing Sander is ideally suited for finishing doors, cabinet fronts and other installations where wood grain is often perpendicular to that of a joining piece. Since the motion is circular, the machine may be moved in any direction and crossed from one part to the other without regard to direction of grain. -
