<p>I get it. I didn't realise you were working off a bearing.</p>
<p>Would a table mounted router not be a quicker and more efficient way to do template work like this ?</p>
<p>You could always freehand sand on the spindle sander afterwards if necessary. </p>

<p>I am template sanding Murray. The template itself goes against a slice of the roller at the bottom that has a bearing and spins freely. None of it works if it is oscillating. </p>

<p>I am ever so slightly puzzled by why you <em><strong>wouldn't</strong></em> want the spindle sander to oscillate ...the oscillation prevents any build up of resin etc on one narrow band, and enables the use of the whole length of the sanding sleeve.</p>

<p>Thanks, Kerry...I've read these reviews and they are numerous. Unfortunately, I was building out my shop and didn't take it out of the box until it was out of warranty. <br/><br/>I've tried tapping the pulley and using a set screw into the shaft. Two v-pulleys and a new belt might solve the problem but I have no idea where to source them.</p>

<p>I got this sander from a major retailer and paid the same price as listed here. Good thing I got the extra warranty.<br/><br/>I do a lot of small wood working and only have to use light preasure, so this size was actually about right for my use.<br/><br/>"The sander lasted just about one hour of use before there were problems. The drive pully behind the sanding disk was slipping out off of the shaft teeth that hold it. I found myself constantly pulling this thing apart to push the pully back in place. After about 3 hours of use the drive pully teeth were stripped out being plastic. Just the belt tension would cause the drive shaft to spin inside the pully.<br/><br/>This is a poorly designed sander and I do not recommend it.<br/><br/>I took it back and got the larger model 31-695. We will see how this one goes."</p> I need to rig something like…tag:fretsnet.ning.com,2013-02-18:2177249:Comment:1029892013-02-18T05:21:28.261ZRobbie Collinshttp://fretsnet.ning.com/profile/RobbieCollins
