Selecting Belts
Bandfiles are used for sanding, conditioning, and
polishing metal in areas that general sanding and
grinding machines cannot. This tool is designed to
effectively remove spot welds with less effort than
spot weld drills. The tool can also be used to remove
gaskets and sealants.
• Do not operate tool in wet applications.
• Rated at or above the SFM listed.
There are two types of belts available:
•Conditioning belts
•Aluminum oxide resin cloth belts
Conditioning belts are made from abrasive miner-
als bonded to a nonwoven nylon belt. These belts
are tough and chemically resistant. They condition
surfaces without removing or damaging the base
material. They are excellent for deburring, cleaning,
blending, and final finishing of metal, wood, and
plastics.
Aluminum oxide resin cloth belts are cloth belts
with various grits of aluminum oxide attached to them.
These belts are good for grinding and deburring high
carbon steels, general metalworking, and for sanding
hardwoods.
Abrasive materials are graded by coarseness. Start
work with an abrasive grit just coarse enough to
remove high spots and excessive roughness. Follow
with a second sanding using a grit one or two grades
finer. Continue with successively finer grits until the
desired finish is obtained.
Do not switch from a coarse grit to a very fine grit in
one step because it may be difficult to remove the
marks made by the coarse grit abrasive. Use the
finest grits practical for the roughing operation, and
finish by using successively finer grits.
Installing/Removing Belts
1. Remove battery pack.
2. Loosen the belt guard by turning the thumbscrew
counter-clockwise, and rotate the guard out of the
way.
