Frequently Asked Questions (6)

  • How do I use the Craftsman 351.226712 sander?

    The Craftsman 351.226712 sander can be used for various tasks:

    • Abrasive Belt Finishing: The abrasive belt can be used to sand wood, deburr metal, or polish plastic and glass. Its 1" belt size is convenient for getting into corners and concave curved edges.
    • Adjusting Belt Platen: The belt platen can be adjusted for sanding or grinding straight, even lines.
    • Polishing and Contour Sanding: With the platen removed, the flexible belt can follow the contour of curved parts.
    • Sharpening: The belt table can be adjusted to a desired sharpening angle.
    • Horizontal Belt Sanding: The belt housing can be tilted to a horizontal position, allowing the drive wheel to serve as a contact wheel for sanding curved surfaces.
    • Abrasive Disc Finishing: Abrasive disc sanding is suited for finishing small flat surfaces and convex curved edges, with the outer edge removing more material and moving fastest.
    • Using the Miter Gauge: The miter gauge is used on the disc table for securing work and holding the proper angle during disc sanding.
