Dust Scoop Gap
For this adjustment, you will adjust the dust
scoops so they can efficiently focus dust
collection system suction where the most dust is
created as the workpiece travels through the
drum sander. You will set the dust scoops above
the bottom of the drums. See Figure 33.
To adjust the dust scoop gap, do these steps:
1. Unplug the Double Drum Sander.
2. Unlatch and open the dust hood.
3. Insert two gauge blocks (two 30" two-by-
fours) of equal height under the sanding
drum and dust scoop. See Figure 35.
4. Raise the table until the rear drum just
touches the gauge blocks.
5. Loosen the dust scoop mounting bolts and
slide the scoop up or down until it is
1
⁄32"
above the gauge blocks. See Figure 34. You
may have to bend the lip of the dust scoop to
get the appropriate gap.
6. Tighten the dust scoop mounting bolts.
7. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 on all dust scoop ends.
8. Close the dust hood and latch it shut.
