enough pressure, and let the sanding belt do the
work.
Adjust for slight sanding action and make
repeated passes.
Use miter gauge on table.

Keep workpiece flat on table at all times when a
square edge is desired. Use miter gauge.
Check table alignment to steel plate with a
square or machinist's protractor. It should be 90
degrees. Adjust table angle if necessary.
