Thank you Dusty. The sawdust article was most helpfull, and the belt sander is working correctly now. Now; to tackle the bandsaw.

I'm trying to install a new sanding belt, but the tensioner appears to work in reverse. It will not lock, keeping tension on the belt. It returns to the "install new belt" or slack position each time I turn the unit on. I can't see any broken parts in the unit. Any help appreciated. Thanks
