Figure 13. Sanding disc and table.
The outboard side of the headstock spindle
accommodates a number of accessories. There
are two different sanding attachments: 1) an 8''
sanding disc and table with miter gauge, and 2) a
pneumatic drum and flap sander.
Sanding Disc and Table
1. Mount the sanding disc onto the outboard
spindle by threading it onto the
7
⁄8'' - 16 left
hand threads.The disc does not need to be
highly torqued to the spindle, the reverse
threading will cause it to self-tighten.
2. Mount the abrasive disc to the flat surface
of the aluminum disc by peeling the adhe-
sive backing off and carefully centering the
abrasive disc on the wheel.
3. Attach the sanding table in front of the
sanding disc. First install the end of the
shaft with the flat face into the bore under-
neath the table. Two setscrews tighten
against the flat land on the shaft. Loosely
tighten the setscrews for now.
Sanding Attachments
The G1495 Lathe can be used for a wide variety
of woodturning applications. There are a number
of accessories which are used for specific proce-
dures. In this section the installation and basic
operation of these accessory items is described.
In Section 6: Operations you will find more spe-
cific information about the actual turning proce-
dures and methods.

SECTION 5: ACCESSORIES
4. Now install the other end of the shaft into
the fitting which is just below the outboard
spindle.The table is held in position with the
spring-loaded lever. Pull up on the spring
loaded shank to disengage the lever from
the adjustment screw and rotate the lever
for clearance. When the lever is in the
desired position, allow the spring to pull it
back onto the adjustment screw.
5. Position the sanding table so that the table
is approximately
1
⁄16 " away from the sanding
disc. See Figure 13. Always use the side of
the sanding disc where the downward rota-
tion will hold the piece down to the table.
