How to troubleshoot a Wen AT6535 Sander that does not turn on?
- K
  Kendra BoltonJul 28, 2025
  If your Wen sander doesn't turn on, start by checking the power cord, extension cord, power plug, and the power outlet to ensure everything is properly plugged in and undamaged. Also, make sure the safety key is inserted into the power switch. If the issue persists, it could be due to a defective power switch, motor, or wiring. In that case, stop using the tool and repairs must be done by a qualified technician.

Why does the motor on my Wen AT6535 Sander overheat?
- K
  kylieallenAug 1, 2025
  If the motor of your Wen sander overheats, it might be overloaded. Try reducing the pressure on the workpiece you're sanding. Also, check the extension cord; if it's too long or doesn't have a sufficient gauge, use a shorter, appropriately gauged cord or plug the sander directly into the outlet.

How to prevent deep sanding grooves when using Wen sander?
- A
  Anna CalhounAug 5, 2025
  Deep sanding grooves or scars in your workpiece when using the Wen sander can occur if the sanding sleeve grit is too coarse, so try using a finer-grit sanding accessory. Also, make sure you are sanding with the grain of the wood and reduce the amount of pressure you are applying. Finally, keep the workpiece moving while sanding.

What causes my Wen AT6535 to vibrate excessively?
- E
  ewilliamsAug 10, 2025
  Excessive vibration or noise in your Wen sander can be due to a few reasons. First, ensure the sanding sleeve is properly installed. Second, inspect and replace any damaged bolts or nuts, and retighten them using thread-locking fluid. Third, tighten the mounting hardware. Finally, test the motor bearings by rotating the shaft; grinding or looseness indicates bearing replacement is needed.

What to do if my Wen sander is causing burns on the workpiece?
- T
  Theresa HolmesAug 14, 2025
  Burns on the workpiece when using your Wen sander can be caused by several factors. You might be using a sanding grit that is too fine, so switch to a coarser-grit sanding accessory. Also, reduce the sanding pressure on the workpiece and avoid keeping the workpiece in one place for too long. Finally, the sanding sleeve might be loaded with debris, so clean or replace it.

Why does the sanding surface on my Wen AT6535 Sander clog so quickly?
- M
  michaelmaddenAug 18, 2025
  If the sanding surface of your Wen sander clogs quickly, it could be due to too much pressure against the sleeve. Try cleaning the sanding sleeve and reducing the pressure on the workpiece while sanding. Also, if you're sanding softwood, know that clogging is more likely; consider using different sanding accessories, or plan to clean or replace the sleeves frequently.

Why are sanding grains rubbing off my Wen AT6535 so easily?
- M
  Margaret FloresAug 23, 2025
  If the sanding grains on your Wen sander easily rub off, it may be because the sanding sleeve has been stored in an incorrect environment. Store sanding accessories away from extremely hot or dry temperatures. Also, make sure the sanding sleeve is stored flat, not bent or folded.
