The platen housing has a lever that is used to apply

tension to the sanding belt. The sanding belt is easily
replaced by releasing the tension lever, removing a
sanding shroud and dust collection duct at the bottom
of the platen housing, and slipping the belt from the

inside the machine base. when connecting and grounding the machine.

The belt and disc sander is driven by V-belts con-

nected to the drive motor. A pulley on the motor shaft
drives a V-belt that drives a dual-groove pulley on an
idler shaft. A second V-belt is installed in the second
groove of the dual-groove pulley and connects to a
pulley on belt sander drive shaft.

The aluminum sanding disc is driven off the end of

the idler shaft. A shaft connected to the second V-
belt pulley drives the belt sander drive drum.

The belt and disc sander is mounted on a stand that

can be secured to the floor to stabilize the machine.
The stand has a door for access to the fasteners for
the machine base.

phase motors
Wilton provides single phase motors in both 115 volt
and 230 volt configuration. Several motor manufac-
tures may be used by Wilton for motors of this type.

These motors may, or may not, rotate in the correct

direction -- counter-clockwise -- when connected to
your single phase power source. If, after connec-
tion, the motor runs in the correct counter-clockwise
direction, the power connection is successful.
