Hand Held belt sander
|
|
|
| I've tried a couple of hand held belt sander (e.g. sandcat, craftsman etc)
and I keep having the same problem--the belt will not stay on no matter how
it is adjusted. Can anyone give me a suggestion of a brand that works for
them?
Thanks

The less expensive belt sanders tend to do this. I have
Porter-Cable and Makita that I have had good use out of
without belts wandering. Old belts will tend to do this also.

| Black & Decker's model V-144, a 3in by 36in sander, has lasted about 20
yrs so far with no trouble. Given need for 2 of that size, I'd buy
another, if they are still available.

My Porter Cable has never had that problem. Or any other problem for
that matter.

| I also have a porter cable, mine is a 3 x 21. Going on 25 years and works
like new.
Just a thought about your problem. Have you tried blowing out the dust and
debris with compressed air. The tracking mechanism can be affected by
debris.

| Check the alignment of the back (driven) roller. I believe that worn
bearings can also cause this.
