Just finished replacing my "A" machine sandpaper belts with rubber ones... BOOM BABY

[Durtdawber]

This is just the second time I've had to take my machine apart for repairs but after a little under 2 hours, she worked when I got her back together.

Now I can't say there wasn't any fussing... there was.
Now I can't say there wasn't any discussing... there was, my father helped me.
Now I can't say there wasn't any cussing... there was and my father wanted to know where I learned some of those words!

I did a board measure after finishing the job and it ran just find. I'm going to start a carve later.

ps... The instructions and video from LHR were top notch but not entirely in sync with each other. There are a few parts in the box that the video does not address and instructions explained how to do it from the LCD panel side. Using both, it was all good.

I upgraded my A machine a couple years ago and it was well worth it. Best thing is no more rolled up belts.

Got any spare new belts? I buy them....

Sorry, don't have any.

I've never had a real issue with sandpaper belts at over 700 hours. I did manage to rip one quite a while ago and installed replacements from a third party, but they have been going strong.

The reason I upgraded was that one of the sandpaper belts split half way at the seam.

After edge rolling, tearing and splitting three sandpaper sets, I replaced my sandpaper belts with the rubber ones a year or two ago. Since then, no constantly checking for rolled edges, splits or tears...so the best thing is its just one less worry...and less down time...
