Hi Andy. Thanks for sharing your video. I have a Bosch 4 x 24 sander that was destroying the belts within a minute of putting them on. Using a piece of the old sanding belt on the plate solved my problem. Thanks again
Agreed, I was gifted an old pendulum type Makita jigsaw. Takes the Makita own-brand blades (still available) that come in a myriad of profiles. Very handy.
Agree they don't make things like they once did. Great you didn't have to buy a modern replacement. Making stairs looks difficult assuming you dont have a jig to make the stringer.
One could use the sheathing from large diameter electrical cable cut at 45deg along it's length and glued to the metal roller. If you didn't have a spares machine or new rollers unavailable
Just the other day I replaced the crown gear with shaft (worm on motor shaft) on my newish Bosch 3" belt sander. £22 for the gear and shaft direct from the manufacturer. You couldn't make it for that price!
@@TheInfoworks not sure. I've been using it fairly heavily on some planks off machinery pallets lately. The worm on the arbour is fine and usually hardened. The crown gear looks to be a slightly softer metal (as is customary in meching gears). The shaft the crown gear on appears the same as the motor arbour. The teeth on the crown gear had worn to the point the motor was skipping. This sander uses a carbon pad between base and paper. Bought a new one at the same time, £3.
@@TheInfoworks there's a rule we should all follow: When a machine is taking longer than it should, inspect and replace it's cutting/abrading surface. Some of the wood I was sanding is a bit gummy. I was fairly ready in replacing the sanding belt but perhaps should have changed sooner. I'm always pretty frugal and push things further than I should.
@@ianhelsbyservices we used to clean and extend the life of clogged belts with a light flame from a blow torch and a wire brush across the belt, cheers

Hi, that's an easy fix, those belts are very robust, cheers
Old Makita were brilliant. Tough and made to last. Shows with the ease of maintenance and repair. Now you get security screw's on a charger.

Sam, don't get me started on those things, but yes it's great engineering, up to a standard, cheers
Love this Andy, also potting season soon hopefully get some tips from you again 😀
Pat, hopefully those Beech seed I planted a while back are starting to germinate, already the next lot of lettuce are showing their heads, cheers
Nice repair Andy ! 👍
Trying to avoid throwing things away is a double edged sword, cheers
Those 9401 makita 4×24 sanders are the best ,a tool like that will last a tradesman a lifetime if taken care of.
That's right, it has done with occasional maintenance, cheers

They were all hand marked out and cut, many sets had at least 6 winders, cheers

The other option is to get the old rubber off and slide sections of bicycle inner tube over the roller, 1 or more layers.
Ian, the balance of saving spares for decades or rebuilding . I suppose it depends on space available, cheers
@@bootsowen Owen, to remove the rubber would be tricky, maybe on the lathe, cheers

Ian, the question I ask is why did it fail? cheers

@@ianhelsbyservices so you were making it work for a living and when it starts jumping then that's it, were the thrust bearings all OK? cheers
