Setting Up to Use the Conical Disk

Post by dusty »

Once again there has been discussion about using the conical disk. There isn't a whole lot to say. It is just a sanding disk. It is sort of unique from many but it is just a sanding disk.

I think this image says almost everything that needs be said - along with a reminder that your Main Table tilts and if you don't tilt it properly you might not get the results that you expect.

Incidentally, the manual disagrees with what you see in real life. Don't blame the Wixey. It is right on.

Yep, that's about what I get in table angle (not 4) too.

I think any setup requires verification with a trial pass and squareness/angle checked.
