Anyone has a broken belt sander 54-7240-8 within Canada? I could use a particular part from it to fix mine. If you do, email me at [email protected] Thanks.
on the front wheel , there is a screw that you can adjust ,, that will adjust the tracking of the front wheel, the rear wheel is stationary , once you have the new belt on, locate that screw,, and just click the switch as you adjust it,, once adjusted, you will see that it tracks straight and won't fall off
Unfortunatly that sleeve is not available, you will need to purchase a whole new drive wheel. The Drive wheel is $9.66 from DeWalt Service Net. Porter Cable, Delta & DeWalt are all owned by Stanley Black & Decker, you can contact DeWalt Factory Service for all parts. 1-800-4-DeWalt You can order the parts on-line, over the phone or though a local service center. The website is www.dewaltservicenet.com Below is the parts diagram for your sander. The part number for the drive wheel is A16439

is it a B & D 3x21 belt saNDER. iF SO, PUST THE REAR DRIVE WHEEL FORWARD UNTIL IT CATCHES, PUT THE SANDING BELT ON, THEN RELEASE THE CATCH WITH A LONG SCREWDRIVER ANDIT WILL SNAP BACK INTO PLACE. hOPE THIS HELPS
Instead of removing the drum, remove the belt and the cover over the gearbox. The gearbox cover is normaly fixed in place by screws around the drive pulley. There may be a couple of screws under the pulley, if so they can be accessed via holes in the pulley wheel itself. Check for worn or stripped gears. These gears can be replaced if need be, but if this is the case make sure you remove and clean out all the grease first and replace that aswell as it may contain bits of teeth that have come off the faulty gear. As far as I know belt sander drive rollers can not be removed without removing the drive inside the gearbox first.
