Model W1855 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/17) Setting Work Table Only sand workpiece on side of sanding disc that is rotating down toward work table. This will keep workpiece from flying out of your hands from rotational force of disc. Set the work table angle relative to the sanding disc. The angle can be set using the angle scale on the sander body, or for greater accuracy, a protractor or machinist's square can be used.
Model W1855 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/17) Disc Sanding Sanding Straight Surfaces For disc sanding straight lines, always brace your workpiece against the miter gauge for maximum stability. Downward Spinning Half of Sanding Disc To perform disc sanding operations, do these steps: 1. Set work table and miter gauge angles as necessary. 2. Turn machine ON. 3. Place workpiece on work table. Brace it against miter gauge, if necessary (see Figure 16). 4.
Model W1855 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/17) Belt Sanding The Model W1855 belt sander bed tilts from 0°–90°, allowing for both horizontal and vertical belt sanding. The horizontal position is generally used for sanding with the grain along the length of a workpiece or for sanding inside curves. The vertical position is best used with the work table attached to the bed, such as when miter sanding or sanding outside curves. Adjusting Sanding Bed Angle Bed Bed Angle Cap Screw 1.
Model W1855 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/17) Inside Curves The sanding belt can be used to sand concave (inside) curves, using the idler drum end of the sanding belt. Idler Drum End To sand inside curves, do these steps: 1. Turn machine ON and allow sander to reach full speed. 2. Hold workpiece against idler drum end of sanding belt, as shown in Figure 19, and with light pressure, move workpiece slowly back and forth across surface of sanding belt. Vertical Sanding Figure 19.
