Description
Heres an intelligent machine that delivers the ultimate finish for the exacting professional woodworker, whether its serious stock removal or the slightest shave. What impressed us the most is the SandSmart-controlled variable feed rate, ranging from 0 to 10 feet per minute. The SandSmart technology monitors the load on the drum motor and automatically maintains the highest feed rate without causing overload. If the load on the drum motor increases, the SandSmart control will decrease the feed rate or, under extreme conditions, stop the conveyor. Conversely, if the load decreases, SandSmart speed up the feed, but only to the point of the manual setting on the dial. Brilliant! Setup isnt too taxing: just a little assembly and then some calibrating and youre up and running. The 1-3/4 HP motor runs at up to 1,700 rpm, but theres virtually no snipe. Stock glides smoothly on the reinforced steel conveyor bed into the sanding area, where height and downward pressure are adjusted easily. The height adjustment wheel is big and easy to handle, letting you really crank it down and remove a lot of material or make the most minute adjustment for the lightest possible touch. Each turn of the wheel makes a 1/16th-inch change, and the mechanism is supported by a thrust bearing, so theres no struggle. The 44-inch width capacity is mirrored by an impressive list of stats: minimum length of workpiece is just 2-1/4 inches; maximum thickness is a beefy 4 inches; minimum thickness is a paper-thin 1/32nd inch. Abrasives change out easily, once you get the hang of it, but after thats its very smooth sailing. One note: Be sure to have a dust collection system you can employ with this sander. The Performax is a pleasure to use and would be a delight to own.
