Edge sanding on wide belt?
5/13/22
Is it possible to edge sand on a wide belt? We have an older kundig 53" single drum with air platten. We still hand sand all filler edges. I was wondering why we don't stack several on edge and send them through. Does anyone do this and is there a downside.

We do it all the time with our widebelt and planer/sander. Just make sure you run them straight with the feed belt and don't angle them or they will tip.

I take all the parts, provided you have several and clamp them together on both ends in such a way as to NOT hit the table or the belt. Thus you have a wide surface.

Not to one-up Nick but we never even clamp them together. We one or up to a handfull and hold them together until the hold down rollers get them and let them go.

Im curious to know how your Kundig sander is holding up and how old it is? Im a Kundig Dealer in Canada.

dont do it get a planer, first time somone send's a board thru that is too wide it will chew up your contact roller and will cost you thousand's to fix, we did 1 time when our planer was down, one of my employee's destroyed a contact rooler on an almost new sander... sick feeling.
