My sander arrived out of the crate - not set up flat. It had an inward deflection in the middle of the sanding plate.
It has adjustments. Locking grub screws that push on the back side of the plate. These screws are at 3-4 locations across the length and with one at top and bottom at each location..
I've set the grub screws the best I can. Its much better than it was, but not flat enough to sand 2 edges for a glue up. There remains deflection between the adjustment locations.
I disappointed. A machined steel surface would be better? Not a flexible steel plate?
What should we expect from this company and this price point and edge sanders in general?
Maybe there's more that can be done to make it flat and I need to play around more with adjustments.
Sanding shaker doors after glue up is fine. I don't really notice(by sight) a slight dimensional variation across the length of the edge but it is there..
Any thoughts? Anyone own this sander and has a flat sanding surface?
Thanks!
