Setting Disc Sander
Table Angle
Set the disc sander table angle relative to the
sanding disc. The angle can be set using the
angle scale on the disc sander housing. For
greater accuracy, use a protractor or machinist's
square.
Items Needed:
90° Square or Protractor ................................... 1
To calibrate table tilt:
1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
Loosen disc table tilt knobs and position disc
sander table so knob shaft aligns with desired
angle on disc table angle scale, as shown in
Figure 24.
Note: Although this procedure can be done
with sandpaper installed, it is more precise
without it.

Miter Gauge
A properly calibrated miter gauge is needed to
ensure accurate sanding results. When the miter
gauge is inserted into the table slot and set 90˚, it
should be perpendicular to the face of the disc. If it
is not, perform the following procedure to calibrate
the miter gauge.
Items Needed:
90° Square ........................................................ 1
Phillips Screwdriver #1 ...................................... 1
To calibrate miter gauge:
1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
Check that miter slot is parallel to sanding
disc (refer to Adjusting Disc Sander Table
on Page 21 for instructions).
3.
Set one edge of 90° square against face
of miter gauge and other edge against disc
face, as shown in Figure 25.
