Use the
accessories shown in Figure
17-1 for disc sanding operations. To set up your Mark
V in the disc sander mode, follow the instructions in the
Owners Manual that came with your machine.
As you
work in the disc sanding mode, you'll find that the Mark V
is an extremely capable disc sander with several special features:
- The
12" disc has a sanding surface of 113.04 sq. in.
- The
rip fence functions as a backstop when sanding long or wide
stock.
- Without
a backstop, you can sand as big a workpiece as you can safely
handle.
- The
miter gauge can be used to hold stock at the proper angle
to the disc.
- The
table tilts from "0" to 45° right and the miter gauge can
be adjusted from 30° left to 30° right to sand at a variety
of angles.
- The
rip fence can be offset to sand boards to a specific width.
- The
quill feed and feed stop can be used to sand boards precisely
to a specific dimension.
- You
can sand without the rip fence or a miter gauge. This is
particularly useful when sanding convex curves.

Figure
17-2. Mount a seond disc on the upper auxiliary
spindle and you'll have two different abrasives
available. The extension table supports the stock.

A very
practical setup is shown in Figure
17-2. By mounting a second disc on the upper auxiliary
spindle, you can have two different abrasive grits available
at the same time.
- The
Model 510 lower saw guard accommodates the sanding disc.
Connect the hose from your dust collection system to the
dust chute in the guard for virtually dust-free sanding.
For dust collection on the Model 500, a special disc sander
dust chute is available.
