Before mounting combinations check operational speeds of each. The Rubber Bonded Abrasive Wheel mounted
on the rear spindle is very useful for keeping lathe chisels sharp as you are turning BUT BE SURE THE LATHE
TURNUP DOES NOTI REQUIRE SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF MAXIMUM SPEED FOR THE ABRASIVE WHEEL. Never
combine any tool requiring a speed in excess of 2000 rpm with the disc sander since that is top speed for the
disc.
The general rule is, ALWAYS LET THE TOOL WITH THE LOWEST MAXIMUM SPEED GOVERN THE COMBINATION.
You can combine disc, drum, or belt sander with buffing
wheel - or buffing wheel with polishing pad - either of
these combinations is excellent for polishing plastics - or
a disc sander can be combined with a drum sander.
You can, for example, mount one sanding disc in its
normal position and a second, with a different grit
paper, on the upper auxiliary spindle using the extension
table to support the work. (Fig. 67)
WIRE BRUSHING
Coarse or fine wire brushes enable you to get satin
finishes on various metals, do deburring jobs, clean
solder joints, remove rust and do many other jobs
around the home or workshop. (Fig. 68) Encrusted
kitchen utensils can be cleaned by wire brushing and
items like golf clubs easily refinished.
POLISHING AND BUFFING
Accessories are locally available which enable you to do a quick, easy job of such household chores as putting a
high shine on the family shoes. Plastics and metals may be cleaned and polished by using a buffing wheel,
polishing pad or bonnet. The polishing bonnet is made so it can be used over the drum sander. The polishing pad
fits neatly over the 6" face plate.
