Adjusting Table Height; Sanding Belt Selection - Grizzly G0512 Instruction Manual

Adjusting Table
Height
The table can be adjusted up or down to allow the
operator to use more surface area of the sanding
belt. Adjusting the height will also prevent the
platen graphite and sanding belt from wearing out
in one place.
To adjust the table:
1.
Loosen the lock handles that secure the L
supports and the lead screw.
2.
Turn the lead screw handwheel (shown in
Figure 22) to raise or lower the table to the
desired height.

3.
Tighten all of the lock handles.

Sanding Belt
Selection
The Model G0512 accepts a 6" x 80" sanding
belt.
There are many types of sanding belts to choose
from. We recommend Aluminum Oxide for gener-
al workshop environments. Below is a chart that
groups abrasive types into different classes, and
shows which grits fall into each class.
Grit
60
80-100
120-180
220
The general rule of thumb is to sand a workpiece
with progressively higher grit numbers, with no
one grit increase of more than 50.
Type
Coarse
Medium
Fine
Very Fine
