billyshoes Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 hi all, just looking for a bit of help with my finisher when im using the rough band theres not much tension and the band moves to the side, is there any way i can tighten it myself or do i need to book a engineer?

Gray Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 Just adjust it back into line Also have you fitted the right size band. Should be 75mm x 1500mm x 24 grit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyshoes Posted August 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 yep right size band and i know about the adjuster its just when im scouring something the band moves or the motor slows if i put pressure on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 You can move the motor back. the mounting bolts are in slots and there are 2 adjusters on the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 Hard to see from your picture but you seem to be missing the aduster bolts. Yes I know my machine is dusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petercoulson Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 @billyshoes **Don't move the motor it's a pain in the arse and can't really be done easily** Look at the lever that brings the wheel up to change the band, see where it mounts the casting (inside the wheels) there is a bar with 2 x 13mm headed bolts these are slotted and the way to adjust the tension, loosen them then bring the wheel forward a little then tighten them again. You will regret trying to move the motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
