The video demonstrates the process of replacing sandpaper on the Grizzly G0458Z and G0458 18-inch open-end drum sander. Hosted by Kent, it begins by highlighting signs indicating the need for sandpaper replacement, such as burn marks or gummed-up sandpaper. Kent then explains the necessary tools for the project: a flathead screwdriver, four and five millimeter hex wrenches, a sharp utility knife, and a new roll of three-inch sandpaper.
Kent proceeds with the step-by-step process, starting with unplugging the machine and removing the top cover and steel plate. He then loosens and removes the right clamp and carefully removes the old sandpaper. Afterward, he uses the old sandpaper as a template to draw and cut the new sandpaper strip, or viewers can use the provided dimensions for cutting.
Kent demonstrates how to install the new sandpaper by securing it into the left clamp, wrapping it around the drum, and ensuring there are no bubbles or overlapping edges. He rotates the drum to apply tension to the sandpaper strip, inserts the tag end of the paper, and tightens it down. Kent provides additional tips, such as cleaning the sanding drum with solvent, using a light coat of spray-on adhesive to minimize paper movement, and ensuring the paper is properly aligned.
In conclusion, Kent emphasizes the ease of replacing sandpaper on the Grizzly drum sander and encourages viewers to subscribe for more how-to videos from Grizzly Industrial.
