Disc Sanding
The disc is best used for sanding end grain and
convex curves.
1. Set the working table to the desired angle.
2. Always use the left half of the disc. (The
half that is rotating downward.)
3. Set the miter gauge at 90° to keep the work-
piece perpendicular to the sanding disc as
shown in Figure 35.
4. Varying angles can be sanded by adjusting
the miter gauge to the desired setting as
shown in Figure 36.
5. When the table is set at an angle, the gap
between the disc and the table becomes
greater (Figure 37); therefore, use extra
care to prevent small pieces and fingers
from becoming lodged in the gap.
Only use the left half of the sanding disc
when performing sanding operations. The
right half of the disc is rotating in an
upward direction and if used could cause
the workpiece to be propelled into the air.
Serious injury could occur.
-25-
Keep fingers and clothing
away from the sanding
disc. Failure to comply
may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
