%!$ Easy Diy Woodworking Bench Plans For You #!@

drum-sander-issues I think all drum sanders are fussy, frustrating machines. They are slow. If you try to feed too fast, or take off too much, the paper burns, and you leave black tracks on the board.  I read wailing and moaning about drum sander design issues for years before I got to the point of getting one. This made it easy to pounce on the SuperMax shortly after it was announced. The hype turned out to be true. I have never had to re-align the machine since initial setup years ago. Looking for the best drum sanders? Here are top-rated drum sanders by different types (single or double, close-end or open-end). Read before you buy.  But, whether you are DIYer, woodworker or hobbyists, a reliable and efficient sander such as the drum sander is a must-have for finishing your projects. As the name suggests, these sanders are the kind that comes with a drum/spinning cylinder covered with replaceable sandpaper. These sanders also have a conveyor belt for feeding the workpiece to the sander head. Работаем с массивом ангарской сосны, мягкая порода. Качество изделий зависит главным образом от шлифовки, головная боль 2 мая  For over 35 years, our abrasives have served some of the largest woodworking, plastic, glass, stone, metal, and textile manufacturers in the country. Go to topic listing. Removing too much stock at one time will result in tremendous heat buildup, burnt sandpaper, blown drum sander issues, and a screwed up piece of wood. The drum sander issues seeks lesser tension. Excessive loading could be the result of foreign particles in the machine or a large variation in workpiece thickness. I've ordered more sandpaper from our local tool supply, they told me they will show me how to apply the paper on one of their machines.

My first concern is getting the glue off, the friend says mineral spirits will clean up the drum surface. Bad idea? Regardless, I have tried several times but still cannot get the paper to stay flat on the drum. I read where several woodworkers have this problem, is there a trick? I have a Jet drum sander and I had a hard time the first time until I found that the paper is placed at an angle, the paper I have, has on each end, a diagonal cut that when aligned with the edge of the drum it shows me the right angle to clip the paper to the drum.

Then I make a nice crease where the paper comes out of the clip and start wrapping, the hard part was keeping tension on the paper and placing it in the final clip without letting it move. Took me a few dozen tries before I got it. My main problem is getting the paper just right with a slight gap between the turns, this helps with the removal of the dust. I don't own one but I have had lots of problems in the past getting adhesive backed sandpaper to stick to an auto body sander.

This is especially a problem if the adhesive backed sandpaper is a little older or the rubber pad has silicone or oil on it. I solved the problem by doing two things:. I cleaned the rubber disc with a sponge soaked in hot water and Dawn dish washing liquid. Then dried it with air and used Isopropyl Alcohol. I used 3M I'm an unabashed 3M fanboi spray adhesive on the paper. Like David said, the ends of the ready-wrap rolls have a tapered cut that you line up to the edge of the drum and go.

I have a Put the end in the clip on the left of the drum, spin the drum with your right hand while guiding it taut with the left. Goes quickly. Once at the end, you have to hold the end in place until the Tuff-Tool lets you put the end in the final clamp. Note that new paper will stretch a bit when it warms up. Initially I check to see how loose the paper is every couple boards until no change is needed for awhile i.

You don't want the paper to ever overlap and if it is loose, it might do so. Good luck! You have a great sander. I have a Delta, but I'm sure the application is similar.

My sandpaper has cut lines on the back. It starts out with the taper on the right and I roll until I reach the left, which has a spring clamps. Thank you everyone for the suggestions. I know this question is going to sound stupid but here goes:. The drum turns clockwise into the wood, correct? Is the paper applied on the feed side of the drum?

I've ordered more sandpaper from our local tool supply, they told me they will show me how to apply the paper on one of their machines. But like a little kid with a new toy, I can't wait to fire up the sander.

I'm sure all of you understand that. Sanding is the worst part of building something, hoping the drum sander will eliminate much of it. I know we are men and really don't need owner's manuals, but sometimes it IS a good idea to read them. The manual with the machine is very vague and almost useless, I have read the manual and still have problems.

The manual you posted is much better than the one I have, so thanks. Glad to know. I was just ribbin' ya, ya know. What other problems are you having? What do you mean by feed-side of the drum? The paper wraps the outside. I'm confused. Job Opportunities and Services Exchange. Lumber Exchange. Machinery Exchange. Classifieds Exchange. Notify Me Of New Listings. Request A Quote.

I have tried ajusting the right side as far as it will go. There is no more room for adjustments on that side. Everything is maxed out, and it still tracks to that side. Then I have no other ideas other than to reverse the belt regardless of the arrow.

I will assume the belt is either so badly made nothing will work or is too big. You should not be able to max out the right side ever, you would rip the belt apart it would be so tight. I have the side with teh bolts all the way out, and on the right side with the hex screws to where it wont adjust anymore.

It is a direct Delta replacement belt. I think it is time to take a few pictures and contact the manufacturer. Check the belt with the original and see how far off it is. It may be your machine takes a different belt as there were several generations of this machine. I am not saying there was but it is a possibility.

The manual would give you a detailed breakdown of the belt part number. Just thought it would be funny to bump this Still have to re set the belt ever 3 passes. Just sold my machine that was doing something similar though not as drastic.

About once a weekend I had to re-adjust the belt. GOt tired of it and bought a new one. I know that the previous model to mine had design issues that created a tracking problem. They re designed and then released the newer model. I know its a different brand, but most if these machines are the same thing rebadged, or same parts with a different housing etc, so its possible that the tracking issue is this, a design flaw that you cannot fix.

My sander I've never had a tracking issue so they did work it out, I don't know what it was though as when I researched the purchase I was only interested to know I wasn't buying the one with tracking issues, however the damn thing does have the overheating issues shutting off all the time and I even cooked the PC board from overheating and had it fixed on warranty. The thing is, when I first got it, it was tracking off to the left. THen i messed with it and now it tracks off to the right.

So i did something that changed it. But i have since, in the past 4 years, done every single thing that i did before, in reverse order. And it never got fixed. You can post now and register later.

Woodenspoke 2 Posted March 16, He he I will assume the belt is a splice connectin and not an over lap meaning it can go both ways. If it continues to track way off have it replaced. DC Ross 7 Posted March 16, Are the bushings lubricated properly? Drive the belt on the lowest speed setting See which side it tracks too.

Contine to go bak and forth front a then rear adjustments If the belt tracks to the left or toward the drive side then loosen the drive side. Posted March 17,
