Originally supplied with glued-on disc, a Velcro backing has now been fitted to make discs more easily changeable (coarse grit ->> finer grits).

The Velcro-attachment makes the sanding action slightly 'softer' - see, for example discussion on woodworking forum sites.

There is a thin metal disc to use as a separator in the drawers cabinet under the Belt/Disc sander. To use this and change the sanding disc:

1. Unplug the sander from the mains.
2. Remove the yellow disc guard.
3. Separate the sanding disc backing from the machine half of the Velcro at the top of the disc, being careful not to tear the machine Velcro away from the machine.
4. Gradually work the separator into the gap, while rotating the disc assembly by hand until the entire disc comes away.

To fit a new sanding disc:

1. Place the separator plate against the machine Velcro.
2. Place a sanding disc against the plate and align it with the machine disc.
3. Move the separator slightly away so that the Velcro starts to grip.
4. Slowly remove the separator completely, massaging the two halves of the Velcro together.
5. Make sure that the sanding disc is flat and centred correctly before replacing the yellow guard.

Maintenance: The Velcro backing is made from the widest strip size, 6", available at the time. A replacement 12" disc is available from Martins Supplies, see this page.
