The conveyor feed rate dial (see =`^li\)') adjusts the
feed rate of the conveyor from 5 to 17 feet per minute
(FPM). The correct speed for your operation depends on
the type of stock you are sanding (e.g., hardwood vs. soft-
wood), the depth of cut, and the stage of finish desired.
As a general rule, a slower feed rate will sand the surface
smoother, but runs the risk of burning the wood. A higher
feed rate will remove material faster, but runs the risk of
overloading the motor (refer to 8dg\iX^\CfX[D\k\ion
GX^\)) for more information on sander work load). Use
trial-and-error to determine the correct feed rate for your
operation.
