Maybe this is a dumb question, but after reading the DP manual to figure out how to do this, it only mentioned it in passing and said "The 80 and 220 grit
wheels will be interchanged when you reverse the direction of the two wheels." Why not the other wheels?

Can someone explain to me how to reverse the wheels? I haven't actually tried, and have never taken my wheels off.

Take the adapter with wheels off of your machine. Remove the nut and remove the wheels. Turn the 80 & 220 hard wheels around and put them back on the arbor. Re tighten the nut and put the adapter back on your machine.

I'm confused on that point.

Only the hard wheels. The wheels with rubber padding may be damaged if you reverse them.

It depends a lot on how the rubber backing was applied to the hub.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
