I do it the same way except I use a 3M spray adhesive in place of the contact cement for this task and when installing black bandsaw tires. I have been unable to get the contact adhesive to go on smooth without any lumps being left. I had the same problem when trying to installing the black tires on the bandsaw. Maybe the contact cement was too old at the time I opened it? The contact cement I tried to use came with the black bandsaw tire kits. Thanks.SDSSmith wrote:As for installing the sleeve, I clean up the drive drum and then install the sleeve without adhesive. I then pull the sleeve back over itself exposing half the drum and the underside of half the sleeve. I apply adhesive to the exposed drum and sleeve and, after whatever cure time is required, pull the sleeve back onto the drum. I then repeat for the other side. Have fun with it!]

Re: Belt Sander Drive drum cover.
The drum sleeve on my belt sander crumbled yesterday while helping my son build his pinewood derby car. Has anyone ordered one lately? I see they are still listed on the site if you search on the part number.
