Product Information
Full details
The Charnwood Ds22Vfp Variable Speed Drum Sander is designed for professional workshops needing efficient and precise stock dimensioning. Its key benefit lies in its variable speed control for both the drum and conveyor, allowing for custom finishes and optimal material removal. A potential caveat is the requirement for a robust 16-amp electrical supply. This sander offers a 22" (560mm) sanding width in a single pass, expandable to 44" (1120mm) with two passes for wider workpieces, and features a digital display for precise thickness settings.

Troubleshooting
Sander will not power on.
Verify the 16-amp plug is securely connected to the correct power outlet. Check that the power supply is active and the circuit breaker has not tripped.
Inconsistent sanding finish.
Ensure the sanding wrap is correctly installed, tensioned, and free of debris. Adjust drum speed and conveyor feed rate for the material being sanded. Check for any blockages in the dust extraction system.
Workpiece not feeding through evenly.
Inspect the conveyor belt for obstructions or damage. Ensure the feed speed is appropriate for the workpiece and sanding grit. Check that the sanding drum is clean and free of excess dust.
Digital thickness display is inaccurate.
Ensure the height lock is disengaged when setting the thickness. Clean the digital display mechanism and the workpiece contact points for accurate readings. Refer to the manual for recalibration procedures if necessary.
Excessive dust in the workshop.
Confirm that the dust extraction system is connected correctly and operating at the recommended 1000m³/hour flow rate. Check for any leaks in the ducting or blockages in the dust port or collection bag.
