SURFACE FINISHING ON THE BELT
FLAT SURFACES
Hold the work piece firmly with both hands, keeping your
fingers away from the belt
Keep the end butted against the backstop and move the
work evenly across the belt Use extra caution when fin-
ishing very thin pieces
For finishing long pieces, remove the backstop
Apply only enough pressure to allow the belt to remove
material If the belt stalls and the belt pulleys slip while
applying moderate pressure to the worl<piece, the belt re
quires more tension

END FINISHING ON THE BELT

pieces with the belt in a vertical position,
Move the work evenly across the belt For accuracy, use
a miter gauge
The table may he tilted for beveled work
