i finally tried out the ryobi wds 1600 CL find last night. all i did was dress the drum with a new belt (120grit) and passed a few pieces of plywood through it just to see what happened. this looks like it's going to be a really handy tool. it was easy to operate and did a fine job of cleaning up the rough surface of the unsanded plywood.
a few things jump out, though. i'm getting a depression parallel to the drum at the beginning and ending 3 inches of th esanded stock. to my inexperienced eye, it appears to be a classic case of snipe, even though the test piece was only 6" long and therefore always supported by the conveyor belt. anything obvious to check before i start getting obsessed?
also, any usage or set up tips that aren't mentioned in the owner's manual that other owners have found useful? right now i'm really happy with the unit, just starting to get it to perform up to it's potential.
