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:
- Unplug the sander from the mains.
- Remove the yellow disc guard.
- 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.
- 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:
- Place the separator plate against the machine Velcro.
- Place a sanding disc against the plate and align it with the machine disc.
- Move the separator slightly away so that the Velcro starts to grip.
- Slowly remove the separator completely, massaging the two halves of the Velcro together.
- 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.
