SANDING
Hold the work flat on the table and move it into the
turning disc, or quill-feed the disc into the work.
Whenever possible use the miter gauge as a guide.
Curved edges are revolved in a sweeping motion. Feed
should be light and smooth, even when a great deal of
material must be removed. It is better to touch the
work to the disc several times than it is to force it
against the disc and hold it there. Burned edges,
clogged paper and errors are avoided by working
slowly and surely.
END SANDING
Nothing does a cross grain smoothing job like the disc
sander, and SHOPSMITH is designed to further this
end. Hold the work with the miter gauge and use it as
a guide to square the work to the disc. The work may
be advanced into the disc (Fig. 81) or it may be grasped
firmly against the miter gauge head and the disc fed
into it.
