I just purchased a belt sander and have never operated one before. I adjust the belt centering contol with the unit turned upside down so that the belt tracks in the center of the platen. No problem. But when I use the thing the belt drifts to the side (seems to always be the "inside") and chews itself up---beats itself to death. So my "belt mileage" is incredibly bad.
What can I do? Is it a problem with the operator or with the sander?
Uhhhh--I almost didn't mention this because I didn't want to start anything---but it is a Craftsman.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
