Bought a used Clarke Du-8R sander. It came with different grits. We have tried the 40 and 80 grit. They all tear away a few seconds after making contact with the floor. Any ideas?

Your drum might be messed up. Sand paper needs to be cut square so its tight all around.

Bostitch B5 stapler. How do I replace the blade that pushes the staples???????????

This stapler is an antique first made in 1936. It should be fixable as stuff was made better in those days. From memory, the pusher clips into the top of the handle part. https://www.google.com/search?q=Bostitch+B5 Repair https://www.google.com/search?q=bostitch+b5+repair+manual ..

Do you sell the collets for the sharpener

Sorry but we do not buy or sell on this website. This is a site for repair advice and tips. Perhaps you could contact the original manufacturer of the sharpener or the place you bought it from. They may be able to supply parts or suggest where you could get them from.

Change the drive belt on porter cable 371 belt sander

Same problem, drive belt for a PC 371 compact belt sander. Solved using a 4 mm Allen key with short end inserted in the smaller drive gear to rotate the system. This is not as harsh on the tool as using the conduit pipe as shown in the utube video. Clamp the tool to a bench securely, with good lighting for visibility. Holding the belt partly on the larger gear and on top of the small gear, place the short arm of the Allen key through the open belt into the end of the small gear (4 mm was the correct size on mine). Then turn the Allen key withe long arm slowly while working the belt down onto the smaller gear. Not too easy, nut this will work with good finger presssure alone. Once engaged, keep working it down until its fully engaged (check carefully). I think it's helpful to drop the belt in hot water before this - doesn't make it stretch better, but the water seemed to help get the belt to move over the drive gear without damage.

I just aquired a used

Sorry, I was missing that part. You got it right, though. three hands is the answer. Orrr, you could go get some nice sticky back papers and cheat. They come in a variety of sizes or can be cut from full sheets. what you have there is a good sander to use while you figure out what kind of sander you want:)

I have a Skil Belt

Seven years later... sorry, man!— Solution — I have a Skil Belt Sander model 7313 which must be very similar if not the same. It has a 3/4HP motor, 3" x 18" belt capacity, a lever for belt release and a single Phillips screw for "adjusting auto-track" which is a misnomer in itself. Very odd. That screw is on the front left as you are using the sander, belt-down. When you "loosen" (CCW) this screw, the belt should move (if at all) toward the body of the sander; "tightening" it (CW) changes the angle of the front roller, which can force the belt off the open side. In my case I had to loosen it all the way just to slow it from slipping off the machine.My tolerances wore over time — or my belts were constructed poorly — so that the belt always rode off and away from the machine no matter where that screw was .So, I "shimmed" the roller closest to the adjustment with a 1/2" strip of duct tape one full wrap around (this made the end of the roller closest to the tracking adjustment "fatter." Tested it. It needed more. I added another piece of tape to the complete circumference of the roller, but this time 1" wide, covering the first tape right up to to the original edge, and over toward the middle. Tested it again. It needed more, but was improved. I added one more tape, 1-1/4" wide from the same edge out to the middle — effectively making a bit of a 'cone' toward the center, and this solved it for me. I think that in my case, the belts I bought at Home Depot were just a bit too long and needed this shimming method to take up slack. I found it easiest to make final adjustments "under load." Sand something right-handed using light pressure and adjust the screw with your left hand. (Note: this differs from the offical instructions in the manual: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/132374/Skil-7313.html?page=8.It may help to lubricate the pivot point of the front roller, which is actually about 4" back of the axel, right at the release lever's rivet, back inside the machine. If this pivot point is not fee moving, your auto adjust may not be able to allow proper rocking for adjustment.Also, with the belt off the machine, you can get a better idea of how the adjusting screw for the so-called auto-track feature does its work. Mine seems to have a lot of room to adjust it exactly the wrong direction, and no adjustment in the opposite direction. Hence my shimming idea.
