Why does the sanding paper clog too quickly on my Grizzly G1066 Sander?
- R
  Robin HernandezAug 12, 2025
  If the sanding paper on your Grizzly Sander clogs too quickly, it might be due to several reasons: the sanding paper grit being too fine, removing too much material at once, a dirty board surface, insufficient dust collection, oily stock, excessive moisture in the board, or worn-out sandpaper. To address this, apply PAM® cooking spray to the sandpaper. This will reduce clogging and improve the effectiveness of cleaning sticks.

  If you notice consistently noticeable 'snipe' (more material removed from the ends of the board than the middle) when using your Grizzly Sander, this may be due to the lack of outfeed support, incorrect pressure roller spring tension, or incorrect drum height in relation to pressure rollers.
