Using Disc Sander - Grizzly G0864 Owner's Manual

Using Disc Sander

The purpose of a disc sander is to smooth wood
and to remove small amounts of waste material.
Move the workpiece slowly back and forth along
the downward moving side of the sanding disc, as
shown in Figure 14, and avoid using excessive
pressure to prevent burning the workpiece and
overloading the sanding discs.
To perform angle sanding, tilt the table and rotate
the miter gauge to the appropriate angles as
shown in Figures 15 –16.
Always keep disc guard in place and
workpiece on side of wheel that is rotating
downward. This will reduce likelihood of
workpiece being ejected.
To reduce risk of your fingers getting
pinched between work table and sanding
disc, always make sure gap between table
and sanding disc does NOT exceed
To perform disc sanding operations:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. If needed, set angle of table and miter gauge
for operation.
3. Make sure table is about
ing disc (refer to Adjusting Disc Sander
Table on Page 21 for further details).
4. Connect sander to power, turn it ON, and
allow sanding disc to reach full speed.
5. Position workpiece on table against miter
gauge.
6. With moderate pressure, push workpiece
into downward moving side of rotating disc
(see Figures 14–16 for examples of disc
sanding).
