Hello, prior to Xmas 2013 I purchased a Jet 10/20 drum sander. It was unpacked and sat for a few months while I completed other projects demanding my attention, in between cyclones and heat waves. I put aside Easter long weekend to do a mobile cabinet and get it working.
I found two major problems which brought my good intentions to a sudden halt:
1. When moving it from the table where it has sat for months, I found a large oil spill under the conveyor belt motor, quite thick oil like gearbox oil. On starting up the belt motor at half speed, without any timber in the machine, there is a reasonably loud clunk noise every 2 seconds or so. On turning up the speed, the frequency of the clunks increased.
2. There are two white plastic tracking pieces that guide the conveyor belt and which are fitted under the belt. The one furthest from the motor is causing the belt to buckle underneath, and there appears to be no way to prevent this. The one on the right, nearest the motor, is OK. The only way I could get the belt to work wothout buckling was by removing the LH side tracker, so now the belt is wandering all over the place.
Has anyone experience either of these problems? I am not sure if I should run it with the loss of oil.
Any sugesstions on how to improve the situation?
