Belt Sander Adjustment

Post by pilvr83 »

I have a problem that I like to see how something works then try and put back together "like new".

I took my belt sander apart to try and correct the belt getting frayed. Reading the repair manual, page 16, repairing the Idler Drum...

Does someone know what the Shopsmith "number of threads" is shown above the nut for the tracking nut?

P.S. I tried to add pictures but can't figure out how. Googled it, saw your help screen...no help always too large

Try the above website from Nick Engler. I think that they are still available from Nick and or Shopsmith. It should contain the info you need.
