To set
up your strip sander, follow the instructions in the Owners
Manual that came with your strip sander.
As you
work with the strip sander, you'll find that it has several
special features:
- The
strip sander mounts on the Shopsmith MarkV (Figure
20-1).
- The
dust chute in the bottom of the cover will allow you to
connect the hose from your dust collection system during
wood sanding operations.
- The
strip sander can accommodate stock of any size and shape
within these limits: 6" in front of the platen (contact
with the table), 3-1/4" thick between the table and the
upper part of the housing, and 6-1/4" wide in the throat
(back of the platen housing).
- There
are three platens - 1 " flat, 1/2" flat and 1/2" radius
curved - that back up the belt.
- The
table can be tilted from "0" to 45-degrees forward. Its
surface is 11" x 11". A table stop automatically positions
the table at 90-degrees.
- A tensioning
spring automatically keeps the belt at the proper tension.
