DUST COLLECTION: All woodworking machines require effective dust extraction to ensure
quality work and longevity of the machine itself. Failure to connect your machine to a
suitable dust collector may affect your warranty. The collector required for your machine
will depend on several factors including the type of machine and its dust port connection,
distance between collector and machine, type and frequency of use and the material being
worked. We recommend a dust collector that will provide you a minimum airflow of 500-CFM
when measured at the machine connection.

INTRODUCTION TO DRUM SANDING
A. FUNCTION
Drum sanding, sometimes referred to as “abrasive planing” is a repetitive process
of sanding both sides of wooden stock to a desired thickness and/or smoothness.
When this process is performed correctly, both face surfaces will be parallel to
one another.
DO NOT CONFUSE DRUM SANDING WITH THICKNESS PLANING!
depending on sanding grit, stock hardness, stock width, etc. Thickness planing, on
with portable machines. If you have used a thickness planer to smooth and dimension
stock, you will quickly learn to work with your new drum sander and not against the
best results.
The most common mistake made with a drum sander is forcing it to remove too much
material too fast. Variables such as sandpaper grit, stock width, wood type, feed rate,
B. DRUM SANDING ADVANTAGES
One advantage of this wide drum sander is that you can work with material up to
800 mm (32") wide because of its open side design. Although you still abrasive sand
with the grain, you do not have to read the grain to prevent tear-out. This is especially
important with thin stock and material with convoluted or mixed grain directions, like
burl, crotch, and tiger patterns.
Drum sanders exert much less pressure on stock than a thickness planer, giving you
the capability of working with very thin material. You have the ability to sand to veneer
thickness if desired, expanding your woodworking horizons. You can also sand smaller
length wood, odd-shaped pieces, and end grain.

CARBATEC.COM.AU
WDS-4080P INTRODUCTION TO DRUM SANDING
C. REMOVING LUMBER CUP
The ideal machine for removing cup from lumber is a jointer. However, because of
the minimal pressure exerted by the drum sander, it is possible to remove cup, since
can take quite a while depending on cup depth. Feed the stock into the machine cup
crown up (edges resting on feed belt) and use a coarse grit abrasive. Repeat until the
shocked by how thin the board may become after all cup has been removed.
Board wrap and twist will not be remedied by a drum sander, or a planer, for that
matter. Always inspect your lumber for warp and twist before drum sanding since
it is prone to hanging-up in the machine, shorter length lumber in this condition is
especially troublesome.
D. PLAN YOUR WORK IN ADVANCE
Planning your drum sanding operations in advance will minimize setups, work time,
and frustration level. Group material to be sanded by thickness and grit requirements
and work through each required sanding grit starting with the thickest material
We suggest that you experiment with the various sanding grits and wood species to
determine the results you can expect before ruining project material. With new set-
ups, always test with scrap lumber before sanding your project material.
E. WOOD SPECIES TO BE CAUTIOUS WITH
Highly resinous species will tend to quickly clog (load-up) abrasives and in many
cases abrasive loading cannot be removed with belt cleaning sticks. The most
notorious abrasive loaders are some common pine species. It is nearly impossible to
clear the abrasive of the pitch, sap, sawdust combination.
Be aware of species that have toxic properties, such as members of the rosewood
family (i.e. cocobolo). Despite dust control, you may inhale small airborne particular

ABRASIVE STRIPS
Abrasive strips are available in precut strips
which require no special measuring or
trimming before installation. The abrasive
strips are tapered at the ends to be wrapped
radially around the drum to provide a
continuous sanding surface. You may cut
your own strips from stock using the
cutting diagram.

NOTE: In some cases, if the abrasive strip stretched, it may be necessary to
re-adjust or reposition the abrasive clip points on the abrasive strip. Ensure
the tension remains positive on the abrasive strip during extended use.
3. Once the abrasive strip is secured
in the left clip, stand in front of the
unit and radially wrap the abrasive
material. Roll the drum away from
you with your left hand while holding
tension on the abrasive strip with
your right hand and guiding the
material onto the drum. Use this
technique to wrap the abrasive
strip edge to edge radially around
the drum. Make sure you do not
overlap the material as you wrap
the abrasive. The material should
overlapped.

4. When you have completely wrapped
the drum, keep tension on the strip
and insert the remaining tapered
end of the strip into the slot in the
drum. Using your right hand, raise
the tensioner clip completely to
open the jaws. Insert the tapered
end of the abrasive strip, and
release the tensioner clip to secure
the abrasive strip. The tensioner clip
will secure and tension the abrasive
strip during use and will hold tension
in the event the strip stretches
during use. If the abrasive strip is not
tightly captured, the tensioner clip
