Where do i put the spring thats about an inch long as when i goto replace the roller

Mike M - Reply

Spring (54) sits vertically in a hole of the plastic base support (32). If you zoom in on the parts diagram, you can actually see this tiny notch in the base support just to the left of the spring. It puts a small amount of pressure on the metal plate of the roller (844), from underneath the metal platen of the belt surface (48).

I had trouble with that too.

Skil Sander is good, but my all-time favorite Belt Sander is Dewalt dwe6411k https://bestbeltsander.org/dewalt/dwe641... .... Really, I like this brand sanding process.

My sander belt stopped tracking. The belt rolls off.

How do I adjust for this
