I recently purchased an older but very used Performax 16-32 Drum Sander that has a few good years left. Like many, I am having the typical conveyor alignment issues, but after tearing down the machine, and a couple hours of adjustments, I was able to get the conveyor to track...somewhat. I was reading this morning that after Jet purchased Performax they added an Alignment Kit to help with conveyor alignment issues. The kit appears to be a pair of ceramic blocks with magnets attached. These blocks are installed in one of the U-channel reinforcements under the belt platen. I'm not sure exactly how these work, but I was thinking about buying a set for my old Performax and wanted to verify they will work with the older units as they do with the newer Jet machines.
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! Eric
