The disc sander allows you to sand outside corners and flat surfaces using an abrasive disc. The belt can perform inside corner and flat surface sanding. The table angles can be adjusted to change the angle of cuts. The sanding table can be set between 15 and 45 degrees. The belt arm can be adjusted between 0 and 90 degrees with the arm locking handle.  It is important to inspect the sanding disc and belt for wear before use. If you notice any holes or cuts in a belt let the supervisor know before trying to power the machine.  Tears can be caused by leaving material in the same spot too long. Try to keep work moving across the belt/disc to prevent damage. The disc normally won't tear but it will turn dark and have burn marks.

You will need to demonstrate the safe setup and use of the belt/disc sander.  You will be sketching an arc onto a piece of scrap material and sanding up to the line using the disc and belt. Make sure to keep the material moving to prevent burning and tearing of the sanding belt/disc.

To save yourself some time now and in the future, it might be good to pick up an endorsement for the vertical wood bandsaw. If you do so, then you can use the bandsaw to rough cut your arc before taking it to the sander.
