SOURCE: The belt slips off my Belt Sander

All sander will have two adjustments. The first is to release the sanding belt by retracting the position of one of the rollers. The second adjustment moves one of the rollers belt tension from side to side. The roller angular position is changed, sometime by a single knob or screw, and sometimes by two separate adjusting screws.

SOURCE: After replacing the brushes in my old Rockwell

Did you dress the brushes to the contour of the commutator?

You wrap the commutator with fine sandpaper and rotate under the brushes till the curve conforms.

If this does not reduce the arcing, then you may have an armature with a bad winding.

Testimonial: "Sounds logical. I'll try it."

There is a black metal ******** one side that is actually a lever and with the tip of a screw driver or the like, pops out and releases the front roller.

I have a Black & Decker sander, model # 7447 and am having problems changing the sand paper.

The 7447 does not have a release lever. To change the belt, you must release tension of the rollers by pushing the front roller straight back until you hear it click and lock in position to change paper. Remove old paper and replace with new paper. Make sure if new paper has directional arrows to install properly.
Now you must release the front roller to put tension on paper. To do this push the front roller from the side that has the adjustment screw. This will release the front roller and allow it to go back into position. Be careful as it pops back quickly and with some force.
Turn on sander and adjust centering of paper with adjustment screw found near the front and side of sander.

I want to replace a broken drive belt for the Br300 Type 1 but am having problems. Please advise as to proceedure for replacing this belt. Thanks in advance for your help.

Look between the rollers that the sandpaper belt travel on. You will find a lever which can be released. Once you release it, you can pull the old belt off and slip the new belt on. Place the release lever back the way it was and you are done.

How to replace sanding belt

Usually there is a lever which when released allows the two rollers to go closer together, thus releasing the tension on the belt. You can then slide the belt off the machine and put on the new one before re-tensioning using the lever. If this helps, please rate me! :)

How do I release the lock on my Craftsman belt sander to lighten the belt. It's an old Model # 315.1172

I checked Searspartsdirect.com for that model number and they listed that number, but with an extra 0 at the right end. I couldn't find a belt release lever illustrated anywhere like that on my old Craftsman belt sander. On mine, you just flipped the lever either forward or back to release and tighten the belt. (still works great) There is a spring that pushes the front roller assembly forward when the lever is operated.

Installing belt on sander

Remove table assembly.
Remove pointer and then slide cover up and out from dust reflector.
Release belt tension by pushing tension lever toward idler drums.
Note: there may be an arrow on the inside of the belt.
The arrow should point in the direction of belt travel to ensure that the splice in the belt will not come apart.
Slide new belt over the drive and idler drums; center belt on drums.
Push tension lever towards drive drum to tension belt.
Hope this helps.

How do you replace the drive belt on a Porter Cable Belt Sander

There is a lever on the side at the front right near the roller that you can use to release the spring tension on that roller (moving it slightly to the rear).  Once the tension is released you can slip the sanding belt onto both rollers from the side.  Release the lever and the spring will put tension on the belt to hold it in place.  Use the knob on the left side to center the belt on the roller if it starts to slip sideways when in use.
