Fence on a belt sander

Jul 16, 2016 2 Replies

I just bought a Craigslist Central Machinery sander (35 bucks) and I want t o sand a longer piece than the sander itself. Do I need the fence on the ma chine, or can I just take it off without too much worry? No instruction ma nual of course, and I can't find online.



Thanks,



Mike

You can take it off. If you're sanding small stuff there's a risk of loosing your grip and having whatever you're sanding go shooting away, but for bigger pieces you'll have no trouble maintaining control.
