G7297 Disc Sander
The Model G7297 Disc Sander accepts 12" diam-
eter cloth or paper-backed PSA sanding discs.
These are available in a variety of grits. See the
current Grizzly catalog for prices and ordering
information.
The sanding disc sticks to the surface of the cast
iron disc, using the pressure sensitive adhesive
backing (PSA) on the reverse side of the sand-
paper disc. The sandpaper can be replaced with-
out removing either the table or the dust port.
To attach sandpaper:
1. Peel back the protective layer on one-half of
the sandpaper disc and fold it against the
remaining half.
2. Slip the half with the protective layer
between the disc and the table edge (Figure
5).

disc and table.
The miter gauge needs to be adjusted perpendic-
ular to the face of the wheel when it is mounted in
the table slot.
To adjust miter gauge:
1. Use a try square or machinist’s square with
one edge against the face of the miter gauge
and the other against the disc face as shown
in Figure 4.
2. Loosen the adjusting screw on the miter
gauge and adjust it flush with the edge of the
square.
3. Tighten the gauge adjusting screw, and veri-
fy the setting. Note—Sometimes the tighten-
ing procedure can affect the adjustment.
4. Loosen the screw that secures the angle
pointer and adjust the pointer to the 0˚ mark.
5. Retighten the screw that secures the angle
pointer.
