Anleitung Zusammenfassung
The depth of cut is controlled by the height adjustment handwheel. It may take some experimentation to determine the proper depth of cut, given the variables of abrasive grit, type of wood, and feed rate. For best results, use scrap wood to practice sanding and to develop skill and familiarity with the machine before doing finish work. A combination of several variables will determine the proper depth of cut to use, including the following: 1. Abrasive type and grit size. 2. Width of the piece being processed. 3. Hardness of the piece. 4. Feed rate of the conveyor belt. Establishing Proper Drum Height A good rule of thumb when sanding with grits finer than 80 is to place the stock to be sanded under the drum and lower drum until it contacts the stock. Drum should still rotate by hand. Without changing drum height, finish feeding the stock under the sander. Start sanding drum and sand the stock at that same position. Do not start drum while in contact with stock! For sanding with grits coarser than 80, you can raise the conveyor table slightly. Always maintain control of stock. Through practice you will learn the proper depth of cut considering the variables above. 19 Selecting SandSmart™ Feed Rates A faster feed rate allows faster sanding but fewer revolutions of the drum per inch of sanding. A slower feed rate provides more revolutions of the drum per inch of sanding to allow a greater depth of cut and smooth sanding. Begin experimenting with the feed rate set at about 40% to 50% of maximum. The best feed rate will depend on a number of factors, including type of stock, grit and depth of cut used, and whether the stock is fed directly in line with the conveyor bed or at an angle. If the drum motor is lugging down, if the conveyor belt is slipping, or if you observe a ripple effect on the stock, slow down the feed rate. If the finish is smooth and the machine is not overworking, you can experiment using a faster feed rate. The SandSmart control continuously monitors the load on the drum motor, and automatically regulates the speed of the conveyor motor to maintain the highest feed rate without overload. If the load on the drum motor increases, the SandSmart control will decrease the conveyor feed rate and will stop the conveyor under extreme conditions. If the load on the drum decreases, SandSmart will increase the feed rate but will not increase it faster than the manual setting on the speed adjustment label. Figure 27 The best and most consistent finish will be achieved if the conveyor does not change speed during operation. When the red indicator light (B, Figure 27) comes on, the SandSmart control has detected too great a depth of cut and/or too fast a feed rate. This change in conveyor speed may affect the finish surface. If the finish is affected, make another sanding pass without changing any settings. If the finish is still affected, make adjustments by slowing the conveyor and/or decreasing the depth of cut and run the stock through again. Also try a faster feed rate or less depth of cut if the stock you are working begins to show burn marks. With cherry, hard maple or other hardwoods, using a shallower depth of cut and a faster feed rate will help minimize burn marks. Slightly angling the stock as it is fed into the machine will also help prevent burning the stock. Because of the wide range of variables, it is important to experiment with your specific conditions and make adjustments to achieve the optimum feed rate. If problems occur, first check and adjust the feed rate, referring to the “Troubleshooting” sections in this manual. Tips for Maximum Performance The versatility designed into the 22-44 Pro drum sander allows it to be used for a wide variety of tasks that will boost the return on your investment. For example, its capabilities range from taking the place of a planer to thickness rough stock, to speeding up fine sanding work often done with slower, dust-generating hand sanders. Learning how to use its adjustments and controls will allow you to fine-tune the machine for maximum results. The best results come from experimenting with different abrasive grits and machine adjustments to fit the job at hand. Following is a list of useful tips which can help you improve performance of your sander. Dust Collection When connecting dust collectors, remember that straight pipe will not restrict airflow as much as flexible tubing. Y’s and elbows will restrict airflow less than T’s. Also, a hose smaller than 2-1/2” diameter should not be used. Multiple-Piece Sanding Runs When abrasive planing (or thickness sanding) a run of similar pieces that you want to have the same thickness, it is best to determine the thickness of the thinnest piece and process all pieces to that same thickness in one session. Be aware that the sander will remove cups and crowns in the workpiece; consider this when measuring and processing stock to the same thickness. Sanding Multiple Pieces At Once When sanding multiple piece...
