Last night I smelled something burning...like plastic.....Could not find the source, keep working.
At the end of the session, I began to vacuum the floor of the shop and noticed black bits at the back of my Delta contractor.
Looked up and the pulley had worked all the way out and was hanging on by no more than 1/32 to the shaft :eek::eek:
It had burned through the plastic belt guard.
I reinstalled, and tightened set screw but to my amazement, it felt tight already....had to really crank it down.....
I'm sure everyone is ok, but please do go give your pulley a tug and make sure nothing is rotten in Denmark.....
Safe cutting,
JC
