Removal of weld seams on stainless steel, steel and aluminum
- Pre-sand
with coarse grinding grits (60-100 grits) depending on the
thickness of the welding seam.
- As soon as the welding seam has almost
been sanded to the level of the surface, change to a finer
grit (120-180 grits). Work through the sequence of ever finer grits
until the requested finish is achieved.
Do not skip grit levels.
- Use SCM belts to achieve a decorative finish:
- Use a 100/120 or a 180/240 granulation SCM belt to achieve
a dull finish. Machine should be set to "3" on
the RPM pre-set dial.
- Use a 400 granulation SCM belt to achieve a brilliant
finish. Machine should be set to "6" on the RPM
pre-set dial.
Removal of scratches from stainless steel and non-ferrous metal
- The deeper the scratch, the coarser the grit is to be used.
- Start
sanding with the coarsest grit. Machine should be set to "2" on
the RPM pre-set dial.
Move the sander over the entire area of the scratch.
- When the scratch
is almost invisible, start working with ever finer grits until
requested finish has been achieved.
*Do not skip grit levels as
this will leave an unfavorable finish.
Achieving a polished mirror finish on stainless steel and non-ferrous
metal
- Start
with a coarse grit. Work the surface until you have a "universal
scratch pattern".
- Step through the various grit levels (grit
400, grit 600, grit 1,500) until you have finished with
the finest grit.
*Only proceed to the next grit level when a universal
scratch pattern has been achieved.
