If the conveyor belt slips on the drive roller of your Jet Sander, first adjust the belt tension. Also, reduce the depth of cut and feed rate.
Why is the conveyor motor oscillating on my Jet Sander?
The conveyor motor on your Jet Sander may be oscillating because the motor is not properly aligned. To fix this, loosen the housing bolts, run the motor, and then re-tighten the bolts. Another cause could be a worn transfer rod collar, which would need to be replaced. Additionally, the drive roller might be bent, requiring replacement.
What to do if my Jet Drum will not start?
If your Jet Sander won't start, there could be several reasons. First, check the plug connections to ensure the main cord is connected to a power source and the motor cord is properly inserted into the control box receptacle. Also, check if a circuit fuse has blown or a breaker has tripped and replace the fuse or reset the breaker. Finally, the switch might be malfunctioning, in which case it should be replaced.
Why does the motor overload protector trip on my Jet Drum?
The motor overload protector on your Jet Sander might be tripping due to several reasons. It could be caused by excessive load on the sanding drum and motor, in this case you should allow the motor to cool and reset the overload button. Too many tools on the circuit can also cause this, so connect the sander to a dedicated circuit and have a certified electrician correct any shop wiring problems. Another cause may be an extension cord that is too long or not heavy gauge enough; use a shorter or heavier gauge extension cord.
What to do if the drum motor stalls on my Jet Sander?
If the drum motor or conveyor motor stalls on your Jet Sander, it could be due to an excessive depth of cut. Try reducing the depth of cut, using a coarser grit, and reducing the feed rate. Also, check the conveyor belt tension and adjust it if it's not correct.
Why does the drum motor overload on my Jet Drum Sander?
The drum motor may overload on your Jet Sander if the circuit is inadequate, so check the electrical requirements. Additionally, reduce the feed rate and/or depth of cut if they are too high.
What causes a board to slip on the conveyor belt of my Jet Sander?
A board might slip on the conveyor belt of your Jet Sander due to several reasons. The tension rollers may be too high, in this case lower the tension rollers. If the feed rate is excessive, reduce it. The conveyor belt might be dirty or worn, consider replacing it. Also, check if the abrasive is improperly wrapped.
What to do if the conveyor belt on my Jet Sander doesn't move or runs intermittently?
If the conveyor belt on your Jet Sander does not move or runs intermittently, align the shaft flats of the gear motor and the drive roller and tighten the shaft-coupling setscrews, because the shaft coupling may be loose or unattached.
