This type of machine is helpful for all sanding tasks that require a fixed angle. Both sander sides often have adjustable sanding tables and a slot for a miter gauge to guide your workpiece in a defined agle against the sanding disc or belt.

Safety

Always make sure to adhere to all precautions trained during the stationary sander introduction.

Maintenance

The machine does not require extensive maintenance. Service malfunctions and defects by trained persons only. Regular maintenance:

  • After each workshift: Remove chips and sanding dust from the device
  • After 10 hours of operation: Check all screw connections and tighten if necessary

Refer to the manual in order learn more about the process to change the grinding belt and the disc.

Sandpaper Cleaning

Sandpaper can be restored a few times before it is used up by briefly sanding a piece of rubber! Instead of proper cleaning sticks you can apparently get great results with the sole of an old shoe - any donors? ;-)
