In this instructional video, the process of replacing sandpaper on the G0449 and G0450 drum sanders is demonstrated step-by-step. The tools needed include a Phillips head screwdriver, a tensioning tool included with the sander, sandpaper in desired grits, a straightedge, a knife, a small hammer, and a flathead screwdriver. The video begins by explaining the components of the drum sander, including the main drum, tensioning wheels, and sandpaper clips. The installation process involves removing power from the machine, placing the tensioning tool to allow the drum to rotate, release tension of the sandpaper, removing the retaining clips, and unwinding the old sandpaper. The new sandpaper is cut to size using the old sandpaper as a pattern or by calculating the drum circumference. The sandpaper is then folded, inserted into the clips, and tightly spiraled around the drum. The process is repeated for the other drum if needed.
