How I FIXED my Delta Drum Sander 18 x 36
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2024
- This was supposed to be a simple conveyor motor replacement that turned into a much bigger repair with not only the motor but my rheostat that controls the motor. I had a motor burn up and send excess voltage to the rheostat causing it to also blow, so I needed to fix it all. I hope you guys can glean some information from this how to so you can fix your own.
All parts for this repair are now unavailable from the manufacturer but I have managed to find replacements from these following websites.

I tried to " resist " making a comment, but I couldn't help myself. Glad you got it working. I know how valuable my drum sander is to me in my shop. Stay safe and be well, my friend.
Ha. That is a good one. Good to hear from you Steve.
I used a 9 volt motor and some clip-on wires. My motor works. I ordered the variable speed controller you suggested and I got the bearings for the raising and lowering as well (I saw that on someone else’s video). The only thing I didn’t see was the inline fuse you added. I really appreciate you making this video. I found it super helpful. I didn’t realize there are different controllers for fixed magnet motors. Without your help I would have been dead in the water (figuratively).
Rest in Peace Drew. Your light was bright for a while.
Thanks for the Video. This helps alot.
I left a comment with Delta in regards to discontinued parts and changing the plastic gears for raising and lowering the conveyor belt....what a complete joke that is. they are in the most difficult place to replace. Plastic gears are for plastic kid toys...not machines meant for Reliable Wood Shops.
nearly the same problem. Glad I found this video so I can order that speed controller. Thanks.
hi Drew, luckily you managed to fix it 💯👍
Yes sir. I’m happy too
Man, I got lost , but that is okay LOLOL. Glad you got it fixed.
At times so did I. I’m no expert here but it was cool to learn something new.
I am looking at purchasing one of these. You have obviously used this machine a LOT. How was the belt tracking? I have read endless complaints about tracking issues being a constant headache
So, did you know there is a circuit breaker on that board with a reset button that you can press through a hole above the dial? Ngl I feel like you probably just needed to reset it. It's there to do the job of that inline fuse you put in.
That's Delta for you. I have a small drill press that I can no longer get the belt for. 😩
Nice work. Where did you buy the motor? I have to replace one as well.
I have the same problem…does your brother do custom work?
Have you had trouble getting yours to TRACK straight? Mine constantly tracks to outside /toward open end, despite tightening and loosening each side in every combination. Even authorized Delta service guy was stumped. He thought he'd fixed it, butwhatever he did was short lived.
I do. I think that item and the conveyor motor are the weakest links in the unit. I’ve had the same issue with tracking which if you notice my inside belt is loose while the outside is tight. I found it the easiest to put the belt under load while adjusting the tracking.
It would probably be safer and easier if you used a pair of jumper wires w/ alligator clips to hook the wires together for testing. You would then be able to turn the conveyor belt on without holding live electrical wires in you hand. Some times accidents do happen.
Thank you.
Do you know what other website may sell the motor replacement because the one you posted is out of stock ?
Can you take a picture of the wiring in the speed control box, I can not find a working diagram for one anywhere
My Infeed motor shot craps last year - the second time the nylon gears in the motor stripped. I have found a lot of companies that used to work on Delta in the area refuse to work on them.
Where did you get the new motor?
I'd prefer to replace the motor with another, more durable motor that isn't made of nylon components. Do you have any recommendations?
I think the "resistor" that gave you no reading was actually a diode which is a polarized component that acts like a one way check valve for electricity or current and when testing it for resistance would give no reading in one polarity and might give a resistance reading in another polarity ... I'm clearly no expert but It might lead you on the right path next time. ( I paused the video and commented before watching the whole video )
You are correct and your parentheses edit at the very bottom of your comment made me giggle. Thank you so much for the comment
It appears I have this issue with one I received from a friend. Where can you get the rheostat you fixed yours with? Or where can I find a diagram of the original wiring within the switch? Thanks
On your delta planner fix do you have any other suggestions for the motor everyone I find is discontinued
Do you know if the elevating screws are 1/2-16 American or British
My rheostat has a reset button . The power go through this reset to the rheostat . Can I bypass this reset without hurting things?
Tested the same controller with a fuse and motor spun fine. Went to test without fuse and I tripped my house circuit breaker. I think I fried something on the AC side.
Has anyone found a replacement motor for this sander I can not find one unless it’s500 or more and can’t see paying that much🥴
What was the model number of the Fasco replacement motor?
Oh funny, I was like that’s a diode not a resistor. Then I was like, oh I’m sure he just edited the video wrong and is out of sequence. Then you said you tested a diode. Oh well 🤷🏽♂️. That’s how we learn.
Ha, I may still have done things wrong in a way too. I admit that and I tried to be as transparent as possible that I wasn’t sure about this stuff and I was nervous to let this video go b/c I know I was not speaking the lingo correctly. Thank you for being kind and understanding.
so did the old motor work
No it was fried. It smoked like crazy and when it locked up it sent back amperage to the rheostat. Fried them both.
It's really obvious from some of your erroneous comments that you have NO IDEA about electrical circuitry. With your obviously limited knowledge you SHOULD NOT be doing a demonstration on RUclips about how to fix your faulty drum sander. If you want to risk playing around with your sander by all means do so but do not presume to instruct others on how to do so. Very irresponsible!!!
It is obvious by your ARROGANT comments that you must know what you are talking about when it comes to electrical and that is GREAT for you. I NEVER claimed to be an expert in electrical. This is basically a demo on how I fixed mine. I didn’t do this blindly. I had hep from a journey man on what to do. He may not have taught me all the lingo but big whoop. The end result is still the same. You don’t see my KNOW IT ALL self going on other inexperienced woodworkers pages and discredit them do you? Comments and suggestions are great but to COMPLETELY discredit them and or me is very disrespectful.
He’s not instructing anyone on anything. 😂 He’s just sharing what he’s currently working on which is what almost everyone on the Internet does, if you haven’t noticed. Maybe when you hear people talk you think they are telling you what to do?
