We got a broken delta belt sander. We didn't know what the problem was, but after gathering the right tools and a bit of part searching and ordering, we could get the replacement parts. Then, after few hours of diagnosis and labor, we were able to get the belt sander up and running again!
Here is how we fixed it.

Hello, Im in need of assistance, Im about to buy a second handed belt sander, exact same model, only thing is, the rubber belt is missing, but the motor seems to work just fine, if you could only send me more info on the rubber belt, like measure length and wide it would help me a lot with my decision. Thanks, by the way, Nice instructable, very detailed.

i have that exact same belt sander. it was making a squeaking noise and the engine did not run smooth, so i opened it up an had to loosen some of the screws with some liquid wrench. i discovered the problem was that the disc was loose so i secured it. then when i ran it again it did not squeak but it was still rough sounding. then it stated smoking, and slightly caught on fire. now it does not run but when turned on it makes a buzzing sound. i think it probably short circuited because of the oil, and burnt out the motor. do you think it would be possible to replace the motor?

Absolutely. A wonderful instructable. Thank you for taking me through all the steps. I had a similar problem with a Ryobi sander, and the drive belt was the problem. I wouldn't have even known what to look for had I not seen this. So I wanted to thank you for saving me $60 in repair shop costs. :)

Hi could you post a picture of the "drive wheel", the part that is in contact whit the sandpaper belt and makes it spin around, cause i am planing to build a home made belt sander and was wondering which shape and textured it had and hoped you might have a picture of it. Anti_dolph
