Hi, there. Try to loosen the 2 inboard screws that mount the conveyor bed to the base. They should be no more than finger tightened in order to operate the fast lever. If it requires a lot of torque to move the fast lever, those screws are too tight. Should be able to move the lever with one finger. If this doesn't work, please contact us at (888) 942-3340 Hope that helps!
I am wanting to purchase this brush head. Can you tell me where I can buy just the head and 180 grit strips? I tried to find them on Laguna tools buy couldn't. Thanks for your help!
@@LagunaTools Laguna Tools thanks a lot! That's the drum head (which I currently have), I'm looking for the brush head that holds the 180 grit strips, shown at the minute 30 mark.
Hi there! The bearing is seated in the housing by 2 nuts and a retaining clip. Both ends of the drum shaft have a retaining clip securing the drum shaft in place. You will need to use a snap ring pliers to remove the clip. You will then need to remove the nuts from the bearing housing, so the housing sits loose. Then the set screws from the bearings so the bearing can be removed. If the bearings are sticking to the drum shaft, you can use a pulley puller to assist you. Then remove any debris or burrs (if made during removal) on the drum shaft with a high grit sandpaper or file it very gently to be able slide the new bearing on. Hope this helps!
The combo with flap sanding heads will scuff up old cabinets and prep them for paint, but it won't remove old paint or stain to a point of exposing the raw wood. There isn’t a machine that can do this because it would destroy the profile if ran aggressively enough to sand off all the old paint or stain. However, the combo 1938 can do lot's of different things so it's a great addition to any shop!
@@LagunaTools that's what Im looking for, a machine that can scuff up cabinet doors so I can spray them right after I run the doors through the machine. I would need to see how it performs before making an investment in a machine like this. A lot of refinishers would buy it if it can save us time by not hand sanding. I wouldnt mind investing money on this machine if in the long run is going to save me time and labor. Do you know a place in Illinois where I can see how it performs your machine? thanks
@@hangeles80 This would be a great question for your local dealers. Woodcrafts are probably your best bet since they have classrooms, but ultimately, they'd have a better answer to give you. Hope this helps!
How TF did you put together a how to video of a sander but not show how to install the sandpaper? The outside clamp is easy but the clamp on the motor side is absurdly difficult.

This will make it more simple for many I am sure. This vid makes me want this even more. Thanks for a great vid.
Glad you liked it!
Nicely done guys. Thank you.
Do you put the fast lever back in upright position after your done making these adjustments?
Do you know if there are laguna tools for sale in belgium .
Thanks .
Where should the screws with the springs be set on the inside of the head for the tension rollers?
Hi, do you sell replacement flatter head (the drum itself for the sanding strips) please?
The “fast lever” on mine is very hard to move up and down. What would be the cause? Thanks

Can it be used to sand/refinish old cabinets?
