Abstract
The combination of a rotary disc sander comprising a base and a motor-driven, vertically arranged sander disc mounted on the base, with a horizontally arranged tiltable work support table. The table assembly includes a table, pivotal table mounting means mounting opposite side margins of the table to the base, and table tilting screw means connected to the front margin of the table, thereby affording a three point suspension. A sander dust collection shroud encircles the disc and communicates through a baffled duct with a vacuum exhaust system for the sander dust.
Claims8
In combination with a sander having a base and a motor driven sanding member mounted on the base for movement of its work sanding surface in a vertical plane, a work support table assembly comprising:
- (a) a carriage mounted on the base for movement vertically with respect to the sanding member,
- (b) a table having side, front and back margins,
- (c) a pair of interengageable table mounting pivot means on the carriage and table located laterally outward of the opposite sides of the sanding member and adjacent the back ends of the side margins of the table for mounting the table for pivotal movement about an axis disposed substantially parallel to and closely adjacent the back margin of the table and the vertical sanding plane of the sanding member,
- (d) an elongated table supporting and tilting screw secured pivotally at its upper end to the underside of the table adjacent the front margin and midway between the side margins thereof, and
- (e) coupling means on the carriage engageable releasably with the screw for securing the table releasably in selected positions of angular adjustment of its work supporting surface relative to the work sanding plane of the sanding member.
