For the BOSS Delta Oscillating Sander
I had a really hard time removing the drum from my oscillating sander! There was no help that I could find online. So if you are having the same problem, check this out!
1. Lie the sander on its side.
2. Locate the black plastic hood. You need to remove this with a screwdriver.
3. Your sander should have come with a hex key. You need it now!
4. Put the hex key in the appropriate hole and use pliers to rotate the nut. The nut turns clockwise to loosen. This is the opposite of the way thing usually loosen!
After time spent with penetrating oil and brute strength, this was a welcome relief!

On the Bench Oscillating Spindle Sander how do you
Remove the spindle from the machine itself before you change the sanding sleeve. There should be a flat section on the bottom of each spindle that you can hook a wrench on to hold it while you undo the top bolt.
Manual
A quarter turn is too much. You should only turn the wheel a maximum of 1/16 turn. Sanding should be done with just the sand (not the paper) touching the workpiece. Patience is the key for drum sanders. Courser grit sandpaper will help remove material faster if that's your goal.
Need the size and thread pitch for my Delta disc/belt sander wheel set screw
Probably an 8-32 or 10-32 (possibly a 10-24) or even a 1/4-20. You can get small packs of these size screws at most hardware stores so would be cheap to busy one of each and try and once you know the size you can get a set screw of that size. Another crude way is to see what size drill bit will fit into the threaded hole. If a 3/32" goes but a 7/64" doesn't or fits tight, it is a size 6 (likely 32 threads per inch (TPI). If a 1/8" bit goes but a 9/64 doesn't or is really tight then it is a # 8 size. (8-32 is most common). If the 9/64 goes freely but a 5/32 doesn't it would likely be a 10-24 whereas if the 5/32 does go but an 11/64 doesn't then figure it to be a 10-32. Finally, it could be a 1/4-20 if a 3/16" bit goes but a 13/64 doesn't or is fairly tight. If it is really big and a 1/4" bit fits the hole then it is likely a 5/16-18.
