Mastercraft 3x21 belt sander has stopped working, it won't even turn on.

We've plugged it into different outlets and still no power. We've only used it once about a week ago and it was working fine. Now we can't even turn it on. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help!

SOURCE: How do I replace the drive belt on a mastercraft

It's going to be under that black plastic cover, if yours is a model like the one pictured here.
You'll need to find a replacement belt to begin with, Then remove the screws that hold the cover on. Usually the belt on these is a toothed belt, and you may need to remove one of the pulleys to get the belt to slide on. Just break the retaining nut loose and the pulley should slide out and off. Make sure you keep track of where washers and shims go when you replace it.
I couldn't find a new belt for it. Good luck with that, to begin with.. Maybe if you try here they can point you in the right direction.

I hope this information allows you to resolve this issue. If you need further assistance, please post back with a comment to this thread.

I am looking for a drive belt for a mastercraft 3x21 beltsander. the belt says 120xL031. cant seem to find one anywhere.

The belt you can replace with a is simply any generic 3x21 belt. You can find them at your local hardware store or order them from a website like Home Depot, etc and have them shipped to your home. Here is a link to take you to Home Depot specifically for an 80 grit, but you can look for other grits as well. 3" is your width and 21" is the diameter of the belt you need.

The Belt of my craftsman 3x21 sander slowly moves off track.

There is a leveling (screw/knob) on the side of the belt sander. Turn it up and the belt will drift in one direction. Turn it downward and the belt will drift in the opposite direction. play with this leveling screw/knob until you reach a good balance and the belt will stop drifting.

Craftsman 3x21 plastic front roller needs replacing

Do you know anyone with a metal lathe or that works in a machine shop? If you do ask them if they can make the rollers for you out of metal. Or else find a machine shop and ask them to make you new rollers.
