How to Use a Disc Sander

A disc sander has circular sandpaper, which you can replace as needed. Step 1 - Store your safety gear Before using the disc sander, you should put on your gloves and goggles. Use them whenever operating the disc sander. Goggles protect your eyes from dust particles that might break off, and gloves protect your hand.

A disc sander features circular sandpaper, which you can replace as needed.

Step 1 - Make your safety gear
Before using the disc sander, you must put on your gloves and protective eyewear. Use them whenever operating the disc sander. Goggles protect your eyes from dust particles that might break off, and gloves protect your hand.

Don't wear loose clothing, or at least wear an apron to hold any loose clothing on you. If you have long hair, be sure to tie it back.

Step 2 - Configure the Disc Sander
Place the disc sander in an area where there is less traffic. This position reduces the risk of people bumping into you while you are using the machine.

Before turning on the disc sander's power switch, make sure that the guard, the guard covering the circular sander, is always mounted.

Also check that the dust extraction unit is connected. If not, connect it to the disc sander as this extraction unit extracts or captures any dust particles while you are sanding.

Step 3 - Prepare the material
For an accurate result, always mark the areas on the material that you want to sand. These marks will help you determine if you've reached the desired area or shape.

Step 4 - Turn on the disc sander
When you have finished setting up the disc sander, you can turn it on. Wait for the disc to reach full speed before using the disc sander. When turning on the disc sander, you will notice that the sander rotates counterclockwise, so you only need to use the left part of the disc sander.

Step 5 - Use the Disc Sander
Keep your fingers at least 4 inches away from the sander and always be aware of where you place your fingers while using the disc sander.

Carefully place the material you want to sand in the workspace or table of the disc sander. Lightly push the material against the rotating disc; Move the piece from left to right at the same time. Do not push the material too hard onto the disc. You can only use the part of the disc sander that is not protected by the guard. However, only use the part of the sander that is moving down.

Keep materials moving at all times; Otherwise, friction between the wood and the sander will cause the wood to blacken.

Step 6 - Adjust as needed
Most disc sanders have tables that you can adjust to different angles. To use this feature, first turn off the disc sander and unplug it. This is to ensure that no accidents happen.

To sand a material or wood at a different angle, unlock the lock nut located on the side of the worktable. Adjust the locknut to your liking.

When you use the tuning table, be extra careful because space is created from the worktable for the rotating disk. You then have more room for accidents to happen.
