Button Reference and Use
It is helpful to familiarize these buttons and their purpose with the Wixey DRO

Calibration
There are three typical variations of calibration. The first variation (Type 1) is for the DRO to show the sanded thickness of
the material. The second variation (Type 2) is to show how much stock is being removed with each pass of the sander.
Another method (Type 3) to show the amount of material being removed per pass without recalibrating the Type 1 setting.
Type 1 Calibration ABS:
Calibration for the DRO to show sanded thickness (Type 1). Calibration is quick and easy and requires no extra measuring
device. Make sure the machine is turned OFF and power is disconnected!
1. Wrap the sanding drum with the desired grit abrasive.
2. Lower the sanding drum until it lightly touches the conveyor belt.
3. Turn “ON” the DRO.
4. Hold the “CAL” button 3 seconds until “0.00” appears.
Type 2 Calibration ABS:
Calibration for the DRO to show stock removed per sanding pass (Type 2). Calibration is quick and easy and requires no
extra measuring device. Make sure the machine is turned OFF and power is disconnected after the first step!
1. Sand a test piece of stock until it is flat and uniform on both sides.
2. Turn the Sander OFF and disconnect power to sander.
3. Position the sanding drum (with abrasive still wrapped on drum) on the test piece until the drum is lightly touching the test
piece.
Continued on next page.

4. Press and hold the “CAL” button for 3 seconds until “0.00” appears.
Type 3 Calibration INC:
This method allows saving the original calibration from Type 1 and confirming the amount of material being removed per
pass.
1. Make one pass sanding your stock. Without changing the drum height press the “ABS/INC” button to read “0.00”. This
changes the readout from “ABS” to “INC” and zero’s the readout on top of the just sanded piece. Now the readout will show
the amount of stock removed per sanded pass in “INC” mode.
2. To change back to the original (Type 1) calibration press the “ABS/INC” button to change back to “ABS” mode.
NOTE: When changing the abrasive wrap to a different grit the DRO must be recalibrated for the change of drum
diameter with the new grit abrasive!
NOTE: When setting the depth of cut, never exceed the thickness of the grit for stock removal.
Depth of cut/Sanding
TIP: With the sander turned OFF, place the stock to be sanded under the drum (wrapped with abrasive of choice)
and lower the drum until the drum contacts the workpiece and the drum can be rotated with hand pressure.
This is a good test for maximum stock removal as you are becoming familiar with setting the sander for
proper stock removal.
