I assume each buyer has a basic understanding of what is belt sander and how it works. I am saying this because there is no manual or part list, etc. Each unit is build and assembled individually. It is not a result of mass production. Based on the same design, it may however differ slightly in dimensions, color or finish.
No unit will be sent without going through testing
. It will be put together, mounted on table, powered by the motor and run. At this stage adjustment will be done, to make sure that every part is working fine. When unpacked and assembled together the buyer needs to practice how to adjust sanding belt tension and learn to adjust tracking wheel.
Later on you may find it useful to make certain improvements, like perhaps spark trap, eye and V-belt shields, etc, . If you own a compressor I would also recommend blowing the dust off regularly in order to keep the work space nice and clean. Additions are possible like perhaps rubber contact wheel or small wheel attachment.
Because each machine is individually build and assembled, there may be small design differences between the listing photos and the actual machine you will receive. This however has no effect on performance and usually improves the overall good look.
Please ask questions if you need more information.
