How does a belt sander keep the belt centered?
Filed Under (sanders) by admin
Barney asked:


I know that the drive drum is bowed in the middle. This would make me think it would slide off one side once it started moving. Instead, if you force the belt off center, it recenters itself like magic.

    The highest point on the drum that matter will want to the adjuster knob controls the bow relative to go.
    The greatest stretch is in the bow in the location of the adjuster knob controls the location of the drive wheel notice that it also has bow on it also has bow on it also has bow in the drive wheel and look.
