for sanding curved surfaces.
A workstop (Key No. 48) is provided to be used when
straight sanding in the horizontal position.
Attach the workstop to the belt housing with socket head
bolt, lock washer and washer (Key Nos. 49, 50 & 51).

to the belt with a 1/t6" gap between the belt and
workstop

to the desired angle.
When disc table is at desired angle, lock it into position
by securely tightening the knobs.
ABRASIVE DISC FINISHING
Abrasive disc sanding is well suited for finishing small flat
surfaces and convex curved edges
Move the workptece across the down side (right) of the
face of the abrasive disc.
The abrasive disc produces almost no abrasive action at
the center.
The abrasive disc moves fastest and removes more
material at the outer edge.
if workpiece is fed without additional guidance, more
material will be removed towards the outer edge of the
disc.
For accuracy use the miter' gauge,
USING THE MITER GAUGE

miter gauge for securing work and holding the proper'
angle while disc sanding.
Adjust the angle by repositioning the miter gauge scale
and locking it into place with thumbscrew and flat washer
Check the accuracy of the miter gauge scale.
Use a combination square to adjust the miter gauge
square to the face of the disc,
Indicator should be at zero. Loosen screw and reposition
