Why does my Steel City Sander motor overload trip?
If the motor overload trips or the shop wiring circuit breaker trips on your Steel City Sander, first, allow the motor to cool and reset the overload button. If the issue persists, try reducing the feed rate and/or depth of cut. Ensure that you are using an appropriate extension cord, limiting its length and using a minimum 12-gauge wire for cords 50 feet or less.
What to do if my Steel City Sander is burning the wood?
If your Steel City Sander is burning the wood during sanding, it could be due to several reasons. Ensure the abrasive strip edges are not overlapped and are properly attached. If the abrasive is loaded with resin, replace it. Reduce the depth of cut or try a coarser grit. Also, increase the feed rate to prevent burning.
Why does my Steel City 55210 Sander leave evenly spaced ripples on the stock?
If you are experiencing evenly spaced ripples on the stock when using your Steel City Sander, try the following: reduce the depth of cut; reduce the feed rate; check the drum for dirt or imbalance. Clean the sanding drum if it is out of balance, and check for loose bolts or shaft coupling set screws.
What causes stock slippage on the Steel City 55210 Sander feed belt?
If the stock slips on the sanding drum feed belt of your Steel City Sander, reduce the feed rate. Also, inspect the conveyor belt and either clean it or replace it if it is dirty or worn.
How to fix a slipping feed belt on a Steel City 55210?
If your sanding drum feed belt is slipping on the drive rollers of your Steel City Sander, adjust the belt tension. Also, reduce the depth of cut and feed rate.
