all of these warnings may cause serious injury.  
3. Replace the warning labels if they become obscured or removed.  
4. This sander is designed and intended for use by properly trained and experienced personnel only. If  
you are not familiar with the proper and safe operation of a sander, do not use until proper training  
and knowledge have been obtained.  
5. Do not use this sander for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, WMH Tool Group  
disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless from any injury that may result from  
that use.  
6. Always wear approved safety glasses/face shields while using this sander. Everyday eyeglasses only  
have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.  
7. Before operating this sander, remove tie, rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll sleeves up past  
the elbows. Remove all loose clothing and confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or anti-skid floor strips  
are recommended. Do not wear gloves.  
8. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods of operation.  
9. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities  
contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples  
of these chemicals are:  
Lead from lead based paint.  
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.  
Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.  
Your risk of exposure varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your  
exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety  
equipment, such as face or dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic  
particles.  
10. Do not operate this machine while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.  
11. Make certain the switch is in the OFF position before connecting the machine to the power supply.  
12. Make certain the machine is properly grounded.  
13. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance with the machine unplugged from the power source.  
14. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting  
wrenches are removed from the machine before turning it on.  
15. Keep safety guards in place at all times when the machine is in use. If removed for maintenance  
purposes, use extreme caution and replace the guards immediately.  
16. Make sure the sander is firmly secured to the stand or work table before use.  
17. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the machine, a guard or other part that is damaged  
should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended  
function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting  
and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should  
be properly repaired or replaced.  
18. Provide for adequate space surrounding work area and non-glare, overhead lighting.  
19. Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap material, oil and grease.

21. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.  
22. Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-play” are  
careless acts that can result in serious injury.  
23. Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that you do not fall or lean against moving parts. Do not  
over-reach or use excessive force to perform any machine operation.  
24. Stand to one side of the conveyor and make sure no one else is standing in line with the conveyor  
while feeding stock into the machine. Should a part slip while being fed, it may exit the machine at a  
high rate of speed and can cause injuries to anyone standing directly in front of the infeed.  
25. Use the right tool at the correct speed and feed rate. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a job for  
which it was not designed. The right tool will do the job better and safer.  
26. Use recommended accessories; improper accessories may be hazardous.  
27. Maintain tools with care. Keep abrasives clean for the best and safest performance. Follow  
instructions for lubricating the machine and changing accessories.  
28. Always feed stock against the rotation of the drum.  
29. Keep your hands clear when feeding parts onto the conveyor. The part will be forced down as it  
begins to feed, causing a pinching action between the part and the conveyor bed. Never reach into a  
running machine. Turn off sander and disconnect from power before attempting to retrieve parts from  
within the machine.  
30. Turn off the machine and disconnect from power before cleaning. Use a brush or compressed air to  
remove chips or debris — do not use your hands.  
31. Do not stand on the machine. Serious injury could occur if the machine tips over.  
32. Never leave the machine running unattended. Turn the power off and do not leave the machine until it  
comes to a complete stop.  
33. Remove loose items and unnecessary work pieces from the area before starting the machine.

Assembling the Sander  
Tools Required for Assembly (not provided):  
Ratchet wrench with extension  
7/16”, 9/16” and 1/2” sockets  
9/16” open-end wrench  
Flat blade screwdriver  
Installing Drum Head  
1. Lift the drum head assembly out of the box,  
and temporarily rest it crosswise on top of  
the stand. (If your stand has casters, make  
sure they are locked.)  
Figure 5  
The drum head is heavy; use  
an assistant to help lift if needed.  
2. Mount the knob to the height adjustment  
handle. See Figure 5. Tighten the hex nut  
against the handle base with a 9/16”  
wrench.  
3. Rotate the height adjustment handle  
clockwise to raise the drum and free the  
wood support blocks.  
4. Use a 9/16” socket wrench to remove the  
hex cap screws and flat washers which  
secure the plywood boards to the bottom of  
the sander base. Retain these screws and  
washers for step 6.  
5. Position the drum head assembly on top of  
the stand so that the four threaded holes of  
the base align with the holes in the long rails  
of the stand (Figure 6).  
[NOTE:The four holes at the center of the  
long rails are not used with the 16-32 Plus.]  
Figure 6  
6. Fasten base to stand (from beneath) with  
the four screws and flat washers that you  
removed from the plywood boards. See  
Figure 6. Tighten the screws securely.  
Installing Conveyor  
1. Raise the sanding drum to its highest  
elevation by rotating the height adjustment  
handle (Figure 5) in a clockwise direction.  
2. Install the conveyor bed to the base so that  
the conveyor mounting holes align with the  
holes in the base. Install four 5/16” hex  
washer head screws (A, Figure 7).  
3. Insert plug of motor cord (B, Figure 7) into  
the control box receptacle.  
Figure 7

IMPORTANT: The conveyor belt has been over-  
tensioned for shipping purposes. It must be re-  
tensioned before operating the sander! See  
“Conveyor Belt Tension/Tracking” on page 16.  
Infeed/Outfeed Tables (Optional  
Accessory)  
The sander should be bolted to the stand or a  
work table when using these table extensions.  
Maximum working load of a table is 35 pounds.  
1. Install a bracket (A, Figure 8) to the two  
holes in the sander base with a 9/16”  
wrench, using two hex cap screws (B), two  
flat washers (C) and two flanged lock nuts  
(D). The bracket should be flush against the  
base. Make sure the slotted holes for  
mounting the table are facing up, as shown  
in Figure 8. Tighten the flanged lock nuts  
(D) against the inside of the sander base.  
Figure 8  
2. Place the table (E, Figure 8) over the  
bracket and insert four carriage bolts, (F) flat  
washers (G) and hex nuts (H), as shown.  
Finger tighten only.  
3. Position the table slightly below the  
conveyor belt surface for proper support of  
stock. To check position, place a straight-  
edge on one side of the conveyor bed under  
the sanding drum and extending out over  
the table. Lower the sanding drum to  
securely hold the straight-edge in place.  
See Figure 9. Raise the infeed/outfeed table  
until the table surface is slightly below the  
conveyor belt surface. Tighten hex nuts (H,  
Figure 8) with a 7/16” wrench. Repeat this  
procedure for other side of table.  
Figure 9  
4. Install the other bracket and table to the  
opposite side of the base in the same  
manner.  
NOTE: If after adjusting the infeed/outfeed  
tables, they are still too high for proper  
operation, the bracket may not be “set.” To set  
the bracket, slightly loosen the flanged hex nuts  
(D, Figure 8) and firmly push down on the  
bracket. Securely re-tighten the flanged hex  
nuts.  
If the stock being sanded is bowed, warped or  
otherwise inconsistent, be sure the tables are  
lower than the top of the conveyor bed.  
If stock slips on the conveyor, the tables may be  
positioned too high. Lower tables to allow stock  
to remain in contact with the conveyor.

Dust Collection  
Dust collection is mandatory for a safe work  
environment and extended abrasive life. The 16-  
32 Plus is equipped with a 4” dust collection port  
at the top of the dust cover. It is designed to be  
used with standard 4” dust collection hose  
connected to a high volume dust collector  
(minimum 400 to 600 cfm).  
A standard shop type canister (16 gal. or larger)  
can be used for short periods of sanding time  
but requires converting the hose size down to 2-  
1/2”. An adapter is available for converting to the  
2-1/2” hose (see “Optional Accessories” on page  
26).  
Installing Abrasives  
An 80-grit abrasive strip is already installed on  
the drum of your sander, and one box of  
assorted grit Ready to WrapTM abrasives is also  
supplied. Page 25 offers information on the  
types of abrasive and their recommended uses.  
Proper attachment of the abrasive strip to the  
drum is critical to achieving top performance  
from your drum sander. Abrasive strips do not  
have to be pre-measured. The end of the roll is  
first tapered and attached to the left (outboard)  
side of the drum. Then the strip is wrapped  
around the drum, and the second taper is made  
for attachment to the right (inboard) side of the  
drum.  
Figure 10  
(not applicable to “Ready To Wrap” strips)  
NOTE: When using Ready To WrapTM  
abrasives, not all of the steps below are  
necessary. You can use the original abrasive  
strip mounted to the drum as a template for  
cutting your own strips.  
1. Mark and cut a taper at one end of the roll  
as shown in Figure 10. Because the tapered  
end should use all of the left (outboard) slot  
width, its end must be trimmed back as  
shown.  
Figure 11  
2. Squeeze the fastener lever (Figure 11) on  
the outboard end of drum, and insert the  
tapered end of the abrasive so that it uses  
most of the width of the slot. Release the  
fastener lever to securely hold the strip end  
to the fastener.  
3. Begin wrapping the strip around the drum.  
The tapered edge of the strip end should  
follow the edge of the drum.  
4. Continue to wrap the abrasive in a spiral  
fashion by rotating the drum with one hand  
and guiding the strip with the other (Figure  
12). Successive windings of the strip should  
be flush with previous windings without any  
overlap.  
Figure 12

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
5. Mark the trailing end of the strip where it  
crosses the right (inboard) end of the drum  
(Figure 13).  
6. Remove the abrasive strip from the drum,  
and cut a taper as was done with the  
starting edge (see Figure 10). Note: The  
taper on the remaining roll can be used as  
the taper for the starting edge of the next  
strip to be cut.  
7. Rewrap the drum beginning at the left, as  
described in steps 2-4 .  
8. You can use your fingers to work the infeed  
take-up fastener, but it will be more  
convenient to use the TUFTool supplied  
with your sander. Hold the TUFTool with the  
red end pointing away from you (Figure 14)  
and insert its hook into the outside hole of  
the fastener lever (see Figure 16).  
Figure 13  
9. Lift the lever with the TUFTool, pulling the  
lever up until it touches the inside of the  
drum.  
10. Turn the TUFTool counterclockwise and  
lower it onto the abrasive strip, making sure  
it is holding the paper tight (Figure 15).  
11. Insert the tapered end of the abrasive strip  
into the slot and fastener. It may be  
necessary to trim the tapered end of the  
abrasive strip so that it does not “bottom  
out” against the inside of the drum.  
Figure 14  
IMPORTANT: Leave a gap – at least 1/8” –  
between the tapered strip and the closed  
end of the slot (Figure 15) to allow strip to  
be pulled into the fastener as needed. If  
necessary, trim the outside edge of the  
abrasive strip.  
12. Hold the abrasive in place with your left  
hand, lift up the TUFTool and turn it  
clockwise  
while  
maintaining  
upward  
pressure. Slowly move the TUFTool away  
from you slightly, then down, while easing it  
out of the hole. This releases the lever in its  
proper position (Figure 16).  
Figure 15  
All abrasive strips will stretch in use and may  
stretch enough to allow the take-up lever to  
reach its lowest position so that it can not  
maintain tension on the strip. If this occurs,  
follow the above procedures to re-set the take-  
up lever.  
Always remove TUFTool from machine before  
operating.

Grounding Instructions  
Electrical connections must  
qualified electrician in  
be made by  
a
compliance with all relevant codes. This  
machine must be properly grounded to help  
prevent electrical shock and possible fatal  
injury.  
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,  
grounding provides a path of least resistance for  
electric current to reduce the risk of electric  
shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord  
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a  
grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into a  
matching outlet that is properly installed and  
grounded in accordance with all local codes and  
ordinances.  
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit  
the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a  
qualified electrician.  
Improper connection of the equipment-  
grounding conductor can result in a risk of  
electric shock. The conductor, with insulation  
having an outer surface that is green with or  
without yellow stripes, is the equipment-  
grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of  
the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not  
connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a  
live terminal.  
Check with a qualified electrician or service  
personnel if the grounding instructions are not  
completely understood, or if in doubt as to  
whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only  
three wire extension cords that have three-prong  
grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that  
accept the tool’s plug.  
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord  
immediately.  
As received from the factory, your drum sander  
is intended for use on a 20 amp, 110V dedicated  
circuit, which has an outlet and a plug that look  
like the ones illustrated in Figure 17. A  
temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter  
illustrated in Figure 18, may be used to connect  
this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown in  
Figure 18, if a properly grounded outlet is not  
available.  
Figure 17  
The temporary adapter should only be used until  
a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a  
qualified electrician. This adapter is not  
applicable in Canada. The green colored rigid  
ear, lug, or tab, extending from the adapter,  
must be connected to a permanent ground such  
as a properly grounded outlet box, as shown in  
Figure 18.

Adjustments  
Drum Height Control  
Figure 19  
The drum height and depth of cut are controlled  
by the height adjustment handle (see Figure 5).  
Rotating the handle counterclockwise lowers the  
drum, clockwise raises it. One revolution of the  
handle will move the drum approximately 1/16”  
(or 1/4 turn = approx. 1/64”).  
Switch Lock  
Unauthorized use of the sander can be  
prevented by pulling out the key (Figure 20).  
Press switch to OFF position before removing  
the key. When the key is removed, the machine  
can not be started.  
To replace the key, slide it back into the switch  
until it snaps.  
Depth Gauge  
The depth gauge indicates the distance between  
the bottom of the sanding drum and the top of  
the conveyor surface. Adjustment is performed  
by “zeroing” the gauge.  
Figure 20  
1. Loosen screw (A, Figure 21) with a 9/16”  
wrench sufficiently to allow indicator needle  
(B) to be turned to depth gauge scale (C).  
2. With an abrasive strip on the drum, lower  
sanding drum to where it touches top of  
conveyor belt.  
3. At this drum position, the depth gauge  
indicator needle (B) should align with the  
zero mark of the scale. If it does not, loosen  
screw (A) and raise or lower indicator  
needle to align with zero on the scale.  
4. Re-tighten screw (A).

Dust Cover Latch  
The dust cover latch prevents the dust cover  
from accidentally opening. To release the latch,  
press inward on the dust cover knob (D, Figure  
21). This will cause the dust cover center to flex  
and release the latch. Note that the dust cover  
latch can be adjusted in or out by loosening the  
screw (E, Figure 21).  
Conveyor Belt Tension/Tracking  
Conveyor belt tension and tracking adjustments  
may occasionally be necessary during break-in  
and normal operation to compensate for belt  
stretching.  
Figure 21 (repeated)  
IMPORTANT: The conveyor belt has been over-  
tensioned for shipping purposes. It must be re-  
tensioned before operating the sander.  
Belt Tension: To adjust the tension of the  
conveyor belt, first adjust the take-up screw nut  
(Figure 22) on both sides of the conveyor to  
obtain approximately equal tension on both  
sides of the belt when taut.  
Insufficient belt tension will cause slippage of  
conveyor belt on the drive roller during sanding  
operation. The conveyor belt is too loose if it can  
be stopped by hand pressure applied directly to  
the top of the conveyor belt.  
Figure 22  
Excessive belt tension can cause tracking  
problems and result in bent rollers, bent take-up  
brackets, and premature wearing of the bronze  
roller bearings or conveyor belt.  
Belt Tracking: Adjustments to tracking are  
made while the conveyor belt is running. After  
the proper belt tension has been achieved, turn  
on the conveyor unit and set it at the fastest  
speed setting. Watch for a tendency of the  
conveyor belt to drift to one side of the  
conveyor. If there is drifting, tighten the take-up  
screw nut (Figure 22) on the side toward which  
the belt is drifting, and loosen the take-up screw  
nut on the opposite side. NOTE: Adjust the take-  
up screw nuts only 1/4 turn at a time. Then allow  
time for the belt to react to the adjustments  
before proceeding further. Try to avoid over-  
adjustments.  
Conveyor Belt Replacement  
1. To replace a worn conveyor belt, raise drum  
to highest position. Unplug machine from  
power source and unplug motor cord from  
control box receptacle.  
2. Adjust conveyor take-up screw nuts (Figure  
22) to relieve belt tension.

3. Remove the four bolts attaching conveyor  
assembly to base. Lift up and slide conveyor  
out to the side of the machine.  
4. Set conveyor on motor side and slide  
conveyor belt off the end of the conveyor  
bed.  
5. Reverse process for installation of new belt.  
Sanding Drum Alignment  
The sanding drum must be aligned parallel to  
the conveyor bed for proper machine operation.  
The sanding drum comes preset from the  
factory. If a problem with the drum alignment  
occurs, follow the instructions below.  
Figure 23  
First inspect the alignment with a gauge of some  
kind. The following procedure uses a steel  
straight edge as a gauge.  
1. Unplug sander from power source.  
2. Open the dust cover and remove the  
abrasive strip from the drum.  
3. Insert the gauge between the drum and  
conveyor bed at the outer end of the drum  
(Figure 23). With the dust cover open, lower  
sanding drum while slowly rotating drum by  
hand until the drum lightly contacts the  
thickness gauge.  
Figure 24  
4. Remove thickness gauge and place under  
drum at the other end (Figure 24). If the  
drum does not contact the thickness gauge  
to the same degree as the opposite end of  
the drum, alignment is necessary.  
To align the drum:  
1. Loosen the four 3/8” hex cap screws – two  
front, two rear (A, Figure 25). This allows the  
entire drum carriage and shroud to be  
pivoted on two screws – one screw in front,  
one in back.  
2. Lay the thickness gauge under the drum  
lengthwise (Figure 26). Rotate the fine tune  
adjustment knob (B, Figure 25) until the  
drum contacts the gauge equally along its  
entire surface. Rotate the knob clockwise to  
raise the outboard end of the drum,  
counterclockwise to lower the outboard end  
of the drum. Use the height adjustment  
handle to raise or lower the entire drum.  
Figure 25  
3. When drum is parallel to conveyor, tighten  
the four screws (A, Figure 25).  
Figure 26

Fine-Tuning Drum Alignment  
(for sanding boards wider than the drum)  
NOTE: Perform this alignment after you are  
familiar with sander operation. This is an  
operational test.  
When sanding boards wider than the drum,  
drum alignment is critical and must be exactly  
level to slightly high on the outboard end to  
prevent ridges from forming on the board.  
Always check this on a piece of scrap wood, as  
follows, before sanding the work piece.  
1. Test alignment with scrap wood roughly 6  
inches wide and 20 to 30 inches long. Install  
abrasive, turn on sander, and pass the  
board through the sander sideways so that  
the end of the board extends beyond the  
end of the drum.  
Figure 27  
2. Without changing drum height, rotate the  
board 180° and sand the same side.  
3. If a ridge is visible where the drum overlaps,  
loosen the four screws (A, Figure 27) and  
raise the outboard end of drum by turning  
the fine tune adjustment knob (B, Figure 27)  
slightly clockwise. Re-tighten the four  
screws.  
4. Repeat process until the ridge is eliminated,  
and the entire board is sanded.  
NOTE: Keep track of how many revolutions of  
the fine tune knob are needed to change drum  
alignment for wider (over 16”) sanding. When  
sanding narrow stock (less than 16”) loosen the  
four screws (A, Figure 27) and turn fine tune  
adjustment knob counterclockwise same  
amount as initial wide sanding until drum is  
again parallel.  
Important: Only turn fine tune adjustment knob  
when all four screws (A, Figure 27) are loose.  
Drum Height Control Adjustment  
If the height control mechanism does not  
operate easily or smoothly, or there is excessive  
vertical movement or deflection of the drum  
carriage, perform the following adjustments:  
1. With a 1/8” wrench, adjust all four studs by  
tightening the lock nuts (Figure 28), then  
loosening them 1/8 to 1/4 turn. If the lock  
nuts are set too tight, height control will not  
operate easily. If the lock nuts are too loose,  
excessive deflection of the outboard end of  
the drum carriage will result.  
2. Apply lubricant to front and rear areas of  
motor mount slide.  
3. Push height adjustment handle (Figure 28)  
downward to set firmly on housing.  
Figure 28  
18

4. Loosen set screws on collar (Figure 28).  
5. Slide collar upward against housing so that  
all vertical free-play of height adjustment  
screw is eliminated. An easy method of  
doing this is to use a block of wood on top of  
the motor mount slide and under the collar,  
while lowering the drum with the height  
adjustment handle. Lubricate around  
washers beneath handle and above collar.  
Tension Roller Alignment  
The infeed and outfeed rollers are tensioned to  
provide downward pressure on the workpiece to  
prevent slippage on the feed conveyor. Tension  
rollers are set at the factory, but should be  
inspected and may require adjustment as the  
sander receives use.  
Improperly adjusted tension  
rollers (i.e. those set too high, rendering  
them non-functional) could allow kick-back  
of pieces being sanded.  
1. Unplug sander from power source and  
remove abrasive from drum.  
2. Loosen all four hex nuts on the bearing bolts  
(A, Figure 29). This will allow both tension  
rollers to drop to their lowest position.  
(NOTE: Figure 29 only shows outboard end  
of drum. Adjustments must be made on both  
ends of drum.)  
3. Lower sanding drum to where it contacts the  
conveyor bed. Then raise the sanding drum  
by making 3/4 turn of the height adjustment  
handle.  
4. Tighten the four hex nuts (A, Figure 29).  
Both tension rollers are now positioned  
about 1/16” below the bottom of the sanding  
drum.  
Figure 29  
Tension Roller Pressure Adjustment  
You can increase or decrease tension roller  
pressure by turning the screws on the tension  
roller brackets (B, Figures 29 & 30).  
Too much tension roller pressure can result in a  
“snipe” mark, which is identified as a visible line  
running across the width of the board and  
located approximately 2-1/4” from the end of the  
board.  
If the snipe occurs on the leading end of the  
board, adjust the outfeed tension roller. If the  
snipe occurs on the trailing end of the board,  
adjust the infeed tension roller.  
Figure 30  
Tension roller pressure can also be adjusted by  
raising the height of the rollers, as follows:

lower the drum slightly more. However, a  
combination of several variables will determine  
the proper depth of cut to use, including the  
following:  
1. Repeat “Tension Roller Alignment” except  
raise the sanding drum only 1/4 turn of the  
height adjustment handle.  
2. If both tension rollers are causing snipe then  
tighten all four hex nuts (A, Figure 29) at this  
position.  
1. Abrasive type and grit size.  
2. Width of the piece being processed.  
3. Hardness of the piece.  
3. If only outfeed tension roller causes snipe,  
only tighten rear (outfeed) hex nuts on each  
end of drum at this position, then raise  
sanding drum another 3/4 turn of the handle.  
4. Feed rate of the conveyor belt.  
Establishing Proper Drum Height  
1. To establish drum height, position the stock  
to be sanded under the drum. Do NOT start  
drum.  
4. Press infeed tension roller down to rest on  
conveyor bed and tighten front (infeed) hex  
nuts at this position.  
2. Lower the drum to the stock thickness,  
making sure drum can be rotated by hand  
while contacting stock.  
This process sets the tension roller assembly at  
an angle providing less tension pressure on the  
outfeed roller.  
Do not start drum while in  
contact with stock!  
Operation  
Before using your drum sander, review the  
previous pages in this manual on initial set-up  
and adjustment. In this section, you will learn  
how to operate the machine.  
3. Without changing drum height, turn on  
conveyor and run the stock out from under  
the drum. Start sanding drum and sand  
stock at that same position.  
4. With the drum operating, feed stock under  
the drum from the infeed side and against  
the rotation of the drum. Always maintain  
control of the stock to avoid kick-back and/or  
slippage.  
Circuit Breaker  
The sander is equipped with a motor protective  
device (circuit breaker). The breaker will  
automatically shut the sander off when  
excessive current is consumed.  
NOTE: If motor heats up during operation, depth  
of cut may be too great for size of grit and/or  
feed rate may be too fast.  
If the breaker is tripped, turn the sander off and  
press the circuit breaker button on the motor to  
re-set.  
Tips for Maximum Performance  
Basic Operating Procedure  
The versatility designed into the 16-32 Plus  
drum sander allows it to be used for a wide  
variety of tasks that will boost the return on your  
investment. For example, its capabilities range  
from taking the place of a planer to thickness  
rough stock, to speeding up fine sanding work  
often done with slower, dust-generating hand  
sanders.  
1. Set depth of cut.  
2. Start drum.  
3. Start conveyor and select feed rate.  
4. Start dust collection system.  
5. Feed stock through machine.  
Setting Depth of Cut  
Learning how to use its adjustments and  
controls will allow you to fine-tune the machine  
for maximum results. The best results come  
from experimenting with different abrasive grits  
and machine adjustments to fit the job at hand.  
Following is a list of useful tips which can help  
you improve performance of your sander.  
Adjusting the drum sander for the proper contact  
between the abrasive and the stock determines  
the mechanical depth of cut.  
It may take some experimentation to determine  
the proper depth of cut, given the variables of  
abrasive grit, type of wood, and feed rate. For  
best results, use scrap wood to practice sanding  
and to develop skill and familiarity with the  
machine before doing finish work.  
Dust Collection  
When connecting dust collectors, remember that  
straight pipe will not restrict airflow as much as  
flexible tubing. Y’s and elbows will restrict airflow  
less than T’s. Also, a hose smaller than 2-1/2”  
diameter should not be used.  
A good rule of thumb when sanding with grits  
finer than 80 is to lower the drum so it contacts  
the workpiece but drum can still be rotated by  
hand. When using grits coarser than 80, you can  
20

there is room, angling the stock on the conveyor  
belt can also help. Slowing the conveyor feed  
when coming to a rail in the stock can help  
prevent a dip or gouge. This allows the abrasive  
to work the wider width with less effort, and to  
achieve better consistency of the finished  
surface.  
Multiple-Piece Sanding Runs  
When abrasive planing (or thickness sanding) a  
run of similar pieces that you want to have the  
same thickness, it is best to determine the  
thickness of the thinnest piece and process all  
pieces to that same thickness in one session. Be  
aware that the sander will remove cups and  
crowns in the workpiece; consider this when  
measuring and processing stock to the same  
thickness.  
Stock Feeding Angle  
Some pieces, because of their dimensions, will  
need to be fed into the machine at a 90° angle  
(perpendicular to the drums). However, even a  
slight offset angle of the stock will provide for  
more effective stock removal. The optimum  
feeding angle for stock removal is about 60°  
(see Figure 31).  
Sanding Multiple Pieces At Once  
When sanding multiple pieces simultaneously,  
make sure to stagger (step) the pieces across  
the width of the conveyor belt. This provides  
better contact with the tension rollers. Try to  
process only multiple pieces of similar thickness.  
If there is a significant thickness difference, the  
thinner pieces can slip on the conveyor belt if  
they do not contact the tension rollers. Also note  
that pieces thicker than 3/4” should be longer  
than the minimum normally recommended to  
prevent tipping of the stock.  
Edge Sanding  
When edge sanding, the sander will mimic the  
opposite edge of the stock which is lying on the  
conveyor belt. Because of this, it is important for  
the stock edge to have been ripped at the proper  
angle to the face before the sanding process.  
When edge sanding stock that is less than 3/4”  
wide or more than 2” high, it is good procedure  
to stack and clamp several pieces together to  
prevent them from slipping or tipping on the  
conveyor belt.  
Figure 31  
Angling the workpiece for stock removal  
provides other advantages, such as less loading  
of certain areas of the drums due to glue lines or  
mineral streaks in the stock, more even wear of  
abrasive strips, potentially faster feed rates, and  
lighter loads on the motor. Note that to get the  
best final finish, however, the stock should be  
fed through the machine so it will be sanded in  
line with the grain of the wood on the final one or  
two passes.  
Sanding Imperfect Stock  
When sanding stock with a cup or crown, place  
the crown up. This will stabilize the stock to help  
prevent tipping or rocking during sanding. (After  
the crown has been removed and the top is flat,  
turn the stock over and sand the opposite side.)  
To avoid personal injury, take special care when  
sanding stock that is twisted, bowed, or  
otherwise varies in thickness from end to end. If  
possible, support such stock as it is being  
sanded to keep it from slipping or tipping. Use  
extra roller stands, help from another person, or  
hand pressure on the stock, to minimize  
potentially hazardous situations.  
Keeping the Machine Clean  
For best results, make cleaning the machine a  
regular shop procedure. Allowing excess build-  
up of dust and debris can adversely affect  
performance through the loading of the  
abrasives, slippage on the conveyor table,  
and/or the accumulation of material inside the  
drums which can throw off the center of balance.  
Leave the dust collector on when cleaning dust  
from the drums. Also brush the conveyor belt  
after cleaning operations. If not cleaned, the  
conveyor belt could allow stock to slip during  
sanding operations.  
Face Frames and Raised Panel Doors  
It is very important to have the proper abrasive  
contact when doing this type of sanding. If the  
machine is set to take an excessive depth of cut,  
the result can be a gouge or dip as the drum  
goes from sanding the rails at full width to  
sanding just a few inches of width on the stiles.  
To prevent this, make sure that when using  
abrasives finer than 80 grit the drum is in contact  
with the wood but can still be spun by hand. If

8. Install second Tracker opposite the first. Use  
both Trackers unless the second one does  
not fit in conveyor or if conveyor belt is  
damaged.  
Tracker Kit (98-0080)  
Trackers dramatically reduce tracking adjust-  
ments of conveyor belts. They are already  
installed on your sander. The following  
information is for re-setting or replacing your  
trackers, should that become necessary. Refer  
to Figure 32.  
9. Turn conveyor bed right side up and re-  
position the bed onto the base. Re-attach  
the four mounting bolts and tighten.  
Caution: Be careful not to knock Tracker(s)  
out of conveyor bed when turning conveyor  
over.  
1. Disconnect power to sander, and disconnect  
motor cord from control box receptacle.  
10. Make sure all switches are off. Connect  
power to sander and plug in motor.  
2. Raise drum as far as it will go.  
11. Tension conveyor belt using take-up screw  
nuts. If both Trackers are installed, it is very  
important to have equal tension on both  
sides of the conveyor belt. Tighten both  
sides of take-up screw nuts until equal  
tension is obtained.  
3. Loosen the conveyor take-up screw nuts to  
relieve conveyor belt tension and slide  
driven roller fully inward. Slide conveyor belt  
to one side of bed.  
4. Remove the four bolts holding the conveyor  
table to the sander base.  
12. To check tension, turn on conveyor full  
speed and place both hands on conveyor. If  
conveyor belt can be stopped, continue  
tensioning until conveyor belt cannot be  
stopped by both hands on the belt while the  
conveyor is operating at full speed.  
5. Lift conveyor bed and slide it out of the  
sander. Turn conveyor bed upside down. Be  
careful not to damage the conveyor belt.  
6. On the underside of the conveyor bed, there  
are U-channels welded to the bed. The  
Tracker is positioned on the inside of the  
first U-channel on the infeed side of sander  
(the U-channel closest to the rubber covered  
drive roller and gear motor). The back of the  
Tracker is magnetized and will stick to the  
side wall of the conveyor bed. Do not install  
Tracker if the edge of the conveyor belt is  
damaged or torn.  
13. Make sure conveyor belt runs smoothly  
inside Tracker slot and that magnet is  
holding the Tracker in position.  
14. Continue to watch tracking of conveyor and  
adjust only if necessary, making sure to  
keep equal tension on conveyor belt at all  
times and not allowing conveyor belt to  
buckle under conveyor bed.  
7. With the first Tracker installed, slide the  
conveyor belt into the bottom slot of the  
Tracker. Note: When installed properly, only  
the bottom lip of the Tracker will be visible.  
The top slot is to be used if the bottom slot  
wears out.

For fine work, such as furniture, try not to skip  
any grit grades during the sanding process. In  
general, premium quality abrasives will produce  
a better finish with a less noticeable scratch  
pattern.  
Abrasives  
The abrasive material you choose will have a  
substantial effect on the performance of your  
sander. Variations in paper type, weight, coating  
and durability all contribute to achieving your  
desired finish.  
NOTE: Grits that are too fine can sometimes  
burnish the wood and leave a glossy surface  
which will not accept stains evenly. This will vary  
by type of wood. Oak, for example, is  
susceptible to burnishing because of its open  
pores.  
JET Abrasives are available in Ready-To-  
WrapTM pre-cut lengths or in the convenient  
Ready-To-Cut pre-marked box. Your JET dealer  
can recommend the best choice for your  
application.  
Cleaning Abrasive Strips  
Regularly clean the abrasive strips on the drums  
with commercially available cleaning sticks,  
following the manufacturer’s directions. Cleaning  
sticks are available from your JET dealer. When  
cleaning, also brush the stick crumbs from the  
drum while it is still rotating.  
Selecting Drum Abrasives  
It is important to select the proper grit of  
abrasives for the type of sanding being  
performed to achieve maximum sanding results.  
As with any sanding operation, first begin  
sanding with a coarser grit, depending upon the  
roughness of the stock or the amount of stock to  
be removed. Then progressively work toward  
finer grits. The chart (Figure 33) shows the  
general uses for the various grits. JET offers  
abrasives in the ten different grits shown –  
consult the stock numbers on page 26 to order.  
Always wear eye protection  
while performing sandpaper cleaning, and  
take all precautions to avoid any contact of  
hands or clothing with uncovered rotating  
drums.  
Cloth-backed abrasives can be cleaned by  
soaking in paint thinner or mineral spirits for 20  
minutes to 1 hour, then using a brush to remove  
any build-up or burns. Dry the abrasive strips  
completely before using.  
The amount of stock to be removed is a major  
consideration when choosing the grit grade to  
start with. Grits 24, 36, 50 and 60 are primarily  
designed for stock removal. Grits 24 and 36 will  
remove the most material in one pass, whether  
you are doing abrasive planing, cleaning up  
glued panels, or flattening stock. Grits from 100  
through 220 are primarily finishing grits designed  
to remove the scratch pattern from the previous  
grit used. For best results, never skip more than  
one grit grade when progressing through a  
sanding sequence.  
Increasing Abrasive Life  
Abrasive life can be increased not only by  
cleaning, but by removing the abrasive strip from  
the drum and reversing it. To do this, remove the  
strip and use what was the trailing end as the  
starting end on the left (outboard) side of the  
drum. Reversing the strip will provide a fresh set  
of cutting edges on the abrasive.
