SELECTING A PROFILE
Individual Profiles are available in three basic styles. Several sizes are
available in each style (see a Porter-Cable Catalog for a complete listing). The
three basic styles are:
Convex Profiles Used to sand concave surfaces. Available in several
sizes to match common configurations.
Concave Profiles Used to sand convex surfaces. Available in several sizes
to match common configurations.
Angled Profiles Used to sand the bottom and sides of slots or grooves.
Available in several angles to match common config-
urations.
C. Single Profile Mounting Plate: This plate is used to mount any one of
the profiles in a vertical position, centered under the Profile Sander (Fig.
4). Special PSA Abrasives are available in precut sheets or in rolls that
can be cut-to-fit the various profiles.
D. Angled Profile Mounting Plate: This plate is used to mount any one
of the profiles at a 30° outward angle on either the right or left side of
the tool. (Fig. 5) This plate permits the profiles to be used in areas that
are inaccessible with the Single Profile Mounting Plate. Special PSA
Abrasives are available in precut sheets or in rolls that can be cut-to-fit
the various profiles.
E. Offset “Shutter” Pad: This pad permits access to recessed surfaces,
such as those found on louvered shutters. (Fig. 6) Special PSA Abrasives
are available in rolls that can be cut-to-fit this pad.
