Putting new sandpaper on a disc sander typically involves applying a self-adhesive disc to the sander's face. Based on the method described in the reference, the process involves carefully adhering the sandpaper in stages.
Here are the steps to follow:
Steps for Applying Sandpaper
Applying a self-adhesive sandpaper disc requires careful alignment to ensure the entire surface adheres correctly and is centered.
- Initial Placement and Pressing: Start by positioning the sandpaper disc onto the sander's disc. Press on it to adhere it to the disc, likely securing one half or a portion first to allow for adjustment.
- Rotate the Disc: Rotate the disc of the sander. The goal is to position the other half above the table or in a convenient position for the next steps.
- Peel Protective Film: With the second half accessible, peel off the protective film or backing from the remaining part of the sandpaper disc.
- Press Remaining Sandpaper: Carefully align and press the remaining sandpaper onto the disc surface, ensuring smooth contact to avoid air bubbles or wrinkles.
By following these steps, you can adhere a new self-adhesive sandpaper disc to your sander, preparing it for use.
