Anyone ever use hardwood floor sanding machines?
 

i bought one like this and i was wondering if anyone knows how you're supposed to change the sand paper on it? i rented on a long tim ang and the paper was circular and just slid on, but this is different.

with your peenis

jk idk bump :x

The paper for that type comes in a continious roll, you need to cut it to suit the drum size, you slip one end in first then fold it around the drum and connect the other end.

I think the two bolts visable in that picture are whats used to lock the paper in but I can't recall.

Be carefull that you dont have a ridge left where the paper joins or you will get chattering markes left on the floor boards

yeah i tried that peter, they wont really slip in when i tried it. mabye i was doing something wrong.

stop being a cheap fuck and hire a professional :thumbsup

blow me.

when you twist those two bolts it should spread the drum for the paper to be clamped under.

I have seen some like that one that have a steel bar go across the drum to hold the paper, the drum is tapered where the bar sits so it doesn't hit the floor.

I've used a few, I installed and sanded a few of the floors in my old house. hit me up on icq :)

You could always ask the fine and upstanding individual you purchased it from. Oh wait...

I have, but it was years ago, and I just do not remember, however, I do remember one lesson from the expeience. Do not use your own vacuum cleaner to clean it up. That dust will fuck it up.

found a manual, thanks
