New Policy for Power Sanders 
enfeedia RSS feed publisherWe have seen numerous cases where the life expectance of the sandpaper used on the various power sands is cut short. You may have had the experience of bringing your project to one of the stations only to find the sandpaper is not useable and you have to delay your project or look for a less than desirable alternative method.

While there is no full proof way to manage this, we are implementing a new policy for all the power sanding stations. It requires that when you complete your operation on a power standing station, you clean the sandpaper with a sandpaper eraser. We have purchased erasers for each machine, so when you finish your project, clean the sandpaper. If you have questions on how to use the sanding eraser, the monitor will assist you.

We all enjoy our shop and the sanding stations help achieve our desired goals. Let's make sure everyone has a great experience.
