Bandsaw/Circ. Sander Instructions

peter22 · 28-05-2008

Hi
I bought a secondhand DEWALT - DW100 - but no instructions.
Managed to get it working o.k. but have bother adjusting the tension - the belt runs off the pulley until I get it right therefore I am loathe to change the blade unless absolutely neccessary - e-mailed DEWALT no reply - anyone know the magic formula i.e. No. of turns on tension knob.
thanks in advance
Peter

Hello Peter
Sorry I dont know about you machine but there should be some form of adjustment for centering the blade and/or the belt
I believe a lot of Americian business'es dont like Hotmail type of accounts so they filter a lot of them out as spam might be worth trying with a registered Email address

Hi Tony
thanks for the reply - I worked it out with trial and error, a lot of! there is an adjusting screw which tilts a belt pulley wheel, the problem is guess the adjustment - not enough the belt flies off, over adjust and it goes off the back.I hoped someone might have had a similar machine with instructions.
