Thanks for the offer but that is not necessary. If I need bearings, I'll be able to take the number off of the existing bearings.JPG40504 wrote:No SS pn, but will try to determine drive bearing size.
I am extremely fortunate to have a Motion Industries vendor here and the folks there are absolutely wonderful.

They are the same as the single bearing quill - 6202-10-zz 5/8" x 35mm x 11mm shielded.

Since I have a clone and been shooting in the dark without my night vission on, what is "crowning a belt"????

When installing a new belt, you turn the knob so that the idler is pressed into the belt. The crowned pulley will slightly stretch the belt at the center.rbursek wrote:Since I have a clone and been shooting in the dark without my night vission on, what is "crowning a belt"????

Newbie on the forum and new owner of a Mark V, used. Located in So Cal.
Completely frustrated with this sander. I set up the belt sander, and actually used it for a couple of hours. Had it humming and dialed in, doing some wood cutting boards, the checker board kind. The sander was awesome at squaring up the sides. Belt started getting squirely right at the end. Took the beast apart and could absolutely NOT get this thing working again. I watched the video of the ShopSmith guy, name ?, and I had to laugh at the same challenges putting the thing together that I had. What I really need to see was actually how the guy dialed in the belt and get it tracking properly. Right when you think he's going to show you, he signs off, ARGGG! So frustrated. Does anyone have anymore info. I have read the PDF and owners manual. So many things with the ShopSmith, that unless you see it done, its hard to replicate. I am tired of wasting so much time, tearing it apart just to put it back together, so I can understand how it works. I may just go buy a new hard core large belt sander...

Yes that step can be onerous!:D That Guy is Nick Engler. Realize he was on a tight time schedule(on line 'broadcast').
