Hello,
I'm getting some vibration and a rumbling noise on my DJ-20 (1988 vintage) when the jointer is slowing down. I opened the panels and the belt (V-belt, about 10 years old, perhaps more) is seated properly on the pulleys but "flaps" on startup; perhaps suggesting it's loose? As the motor slows down, the belt vibrates at the same time I hear the rumbling noise. I couldn't induce any movement in the pulleys. So, I'm wondering if it's possible to tighten the belt on a DJ-20? Second, what is the procedure for replacing it?
Many Thanks-
Izzy
