Can anyone tell me what the proper orientation of the rectangular bushings and the eccentric cams are in relation to the housing on the belt sander idler drum shaft ends? I just installed new bushings and want to reassemble it properly. FYI for anyone consideringreplacing these bushings as well - the roll pin at the end of the shaft is a real "bear". I almost wish I had bought a whole new idler drum assembly! Thanks in advance - Alec

Not sure if it is here but... I seem to remember Nick took the beltsander all the way down and rebuilt it in this sawdust session

Maybe it has the info you need in it.

Hope that helps

Thanks Mike - I hadn't had the cams aligned properly, so that was a big help - thanks again - Alec
