19-11. Edge sanding is easily accomplished with
an arrangement like this. The belt will try to move
the workpiece back, so do not sand directly in-line
with the belt.
|
To sand
the edge of a workpiece, secure the belt sander in the horizontal
position. Install the worktable parallel to and no farther
than 1/16" above the belt. Hold the surface of the stock firmly
against the worktable, while moving the stock back and forth
(Figure 19-11).
Be careful to sand the entire edge evenly. If you sand too
much stock off the middle of a workpiece, it will develop
a bow.
