An open end wide belt sander is designed to surface sand a workpiece that is twice the width of the
sander's capacity by rotating the workpiece 180° for the second and subsequent sanding passes.
The operator uses the elevation handwheel and scale to set the depth of cut, turns the sanding and con-
veyor motors FE, sets the feed rate or speed of the conveyor belt, then feeds the workpiece into the
sander at the same rate as the conveyor. Pressure rollers keep the workpiece held to the conveyor belt
to move it under the sanding drum. After each pass, the operator lowers the sanding belt the recom-
mended amount and feeds the workpiece through the sander again.
The oscillation system shifts the sanding belt from side-to-side on the sanding drum to produce an even
sanding finish across the width of the workpiece. This system is operated with compressed air through a
series of air valves and levers. The sanding motor brake unit also requires compressed air, which brings
the sanding motor and sanding belt to a quick stop when the power is turned F==.
The depth of cut safety bar prevents a workpiece that is too high from being "jammed" into the sanding
belt, which could produce an unsafe hazard of kickback. As well, the air pressure safety switch will not
allow the machine to operate if the source of compressed air is below the operating minimum.
