natkova Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 I bought Bench Grinder yesterday and it was good and everything was find, but when i wanted to change belt to it, screw slip , or thread in thin sheet metal is ruined. And now it cant align itself right away, belt tend to go out of align. I will go to market bring account for it and ask them to return me money or change for other machine. And on top of that cap that is under grinder, where screws go is thin plastic. You remove plastic and you have access to wiring. What tips do you have when buying those tools, i tought belt sander will give finer sharpnes to tools like chisels planes etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Looks like a nice machine, can you adjust the tracking to correct your trouble? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Material is in bad shape or screw it is slip and it cant push pulley to side and tighten belt better. 125 is making problem for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason L Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 You could try to fill the screw hole with epoxy or JB Weld or something similar and rethread it. That's just a temporary fix though. The vibration would probably loosen that up before long. I would just send it back for replacement or refund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gewoon ik Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 No option to use a bolt you can fix to the sheetmetal and screw in there? I have those poprivets with threat inside, perfect for sheetmetal if you have place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason L Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Could you resize the hole for a bigger screw maybe? What does that screw do anyway? I can't tell from the pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
