The drive shaft bolt on my DW433 3x21 belt sander has broken for the third time in 4 months. The DeWalt service center has repaired has been very promt about reparing and shipping it back. This seems to be a design defect or poor quality metal in the shaft bolt. Is there a reliable fix for this problem?

SOURCE: I bought a DeWalt belt

I found the manual in English (pages 1-2), French (pages 2-4) and Spanish (pages 5-6) as a PDF here: http://servicenet.dewalt.com/Products/Detail/DW433# . See under Downloads on the right hand side of the page. Multi-lingual manuals are the current normal due to international manufacturing and sales; it saves in the production/packing costs.

There are other models that start DW433. to get their manuals start here: http://servicenet.dewalt.com/Parts/Search?searchedNumber=DW433&searchType=0 . Start at http://servicenet.dewalt.com/ for other Dewalt tool manuals.

I hope this helps.

I accidently ran over the cord with my DW430R 5.2 Amp belt sander and it's wedged so tightly between the wheel and sander body and I can't get it out.

If you release the belt that would give you more room to get the cord out. When you releas the belt it brings the rollers together which loosens the belt.

I have a Porter Cable Model 371 2.5" X 14" Belt Sander. I broke a belt, when I did it jammed and also broke a rubber sleeve that covers the Drive Wheel. I have yet to find this rubber sleeve in any part...

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

No sanding action and motor just buzzes

It will probably be the shaft from the motor to the orbital cam which is on the flat plate that you connect the sandpaper to , either the shaft or the bottom cam is broken [probably the shaft has snapped ] you can do a cheap repair with a good glue to reconnect the shaft [but you wont be able to push too hard again] or if you can get the parts just replace the shaft into the motor . they are really simple things to work on
