Rigid Spindle Sander Manual Changing The Belt To A Simple Spindle Sander.
Can't seem to locate my manual and want to change the belt configuration to a simple single spindle device but for the life of me I can't figure out how to do it. A U Tube demo would help but maybe you guys can explain verbally the steps needed to make this change.
