  There are several potential reasons why the motor of your Wilton Sander might not be running. It could be due to a defective motor (in which case, consider replacing it), low voltage (check the power supply), a defective switch (replace the switch), a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker (determine the cause and replace the fuse or reset the breaker), the branch being shut down for service (ensure no one is working on the machines before resetting), or an open circuit in the wiring (inspect wire connections).

  If the motor stalls easily on your Wilton Sander, it could be due to low voltage (check and correct the voltage at the motor), a blown fuse (if it's a three-phase motor, replace the fuse), or improper wiring (check the connections).

  If your Wilton Sander belt is not tracking correctly, make sure to adjust the belt tracking. Also, verify the belt tension: if it is too tight, loosen it until it's taut; if it's too loose, tighten it. Inspect the belt for any irregularities in the seam or shape. Check the drive roller for a slight crown. Lastly, inspect the bearings for excessive heat or loose shafts, and replace if necessary.

  If your Wilton Sander belt life is short, avoid applying excessive pressure while grinding, as this dulls the grit. Utilize all surface areas of the abrasive cloth, and ensure you are using the correct abrasive material and grit size for your workpieces.
