I've had my Jet 22-44 Oscillating Drum Sander for about a month now. I took some of the tenson off the conveyor as directed in the set up. The belt slipped so I increased the tension until the belt quit slipping. After a while things got a little wacky, I could run something thru and take almost nothing off and run again and take a lot off in one area. The belt looked like is was going up and down like something was under it. I checked and sure enough there were shreads of rubber under there off the drive roller. The center of the roller is in shreads but the sides aren't too bad.
I called Jet and they were real nice. They said it was nothing I had done but the rubber must have been bad on the roller. They have a new roller in the mail. Has anyone had a problem like this? I'm new to this machine so just how do you tell if the tension is right on the conveyor belt?
