Still no luck so i'm beginning to think I have been supplied with the wrong size belt. These are the numbers on my belt: 140J P24 0453 Can someone quote the numbers on their belt so I can check. Thanks. P.S. I can't check it against the old one as I threw it away before ordering the new one...

Thanks for the reply and the picture. I have done what you suggested but I just cannot get the new belt on to the pulleys are there anymore tips you can give me?

You would think so wouldn't you but if it's in there I cannot find it :D . Plenty of info about setup and maintenance but northing about replacing the drive belt.

The drive belt on my trusty Delta thicknesser has broken and needs to be replaced. I have found a few places where to get a replacement belt from but my problem is I have absolutely no idea how to do it. I have got the old one out but I am guessing I might need a tool to fit the new one. Any...

Ok I know Roger may not be able to answer this but perhaps someone else can. When I place my straight edge along the fence it deflects in the middle by 0.6mm and is therefore slightly concave. Now I am thinking this is wrong and it should be flat. I have asked Axminster for their take on this...

Not much really, I would need to use my feeler gauge to get an accurate measurement, and thinking about it I agree with you Roger as long as I can get it as square as possible where the action is it should work as intended and I have been getting some pretty square test pieces so I will recheck...

Yep it's me again. Well I was right about it taking a long time to get right and yes you've guessed it I have hit another problem. When I set the fence square near the blades on the outfeed table the part nearest the blades is square but the part furthest away from the blades is not, it's not...

Thanks once again for the help Roger I shall hopefully be sorting it out on Saturday that way I can take my time as I suspect it may take a while to get it right. That thought had crossed my mind but I will cross that bridge when I come to it. The other reason for not fiddling with the...

Hello Well it turns out that the motor pulley wheel was too big and a replacement one that was the right size arrived this morning. Thanks to the assistance I got from the forum I was able to send Axminster both measurements so they knew I needed a new pulley wheel. Now onto the next problem...

Thanks again Roger for the measurements. It seems that I have definitely got a motor wheel that is too big. My cutter wheel is the same size as yours, 62mm, but the motor wheel is 120mm which is bigger than yours. So once I get Axminster to sort that I will carry on the assembly and hopefully...

I just had another thought. If the belt is the correct size could the pulley wheel on the motor be too big? I have raised the motor to it's highest point and I still cannot get the drive belt on. The pulley wheel is approximately 12cm in diameter and when compared to the photograph in the manual...

Hi Roger and thanks for taking the time to measure the belt on your machine. The belt I have is also approximately 95cm so I guess it is the correct size after all, glad I asked here first before calling Axminster. Do you have any tips on getting the belt on because I just cannot seem to get it...

Hello Just a quick question, could someone who owns an Axminster CT150 planer give me an idea of the size the drive belt should be. I am sure mine is the wrong one as I cannot get it to fit no matter how much I move the motor. It could be the right size of course and I am just missing...

Well I have tested my square and yes you've guessed it my square is not square. I tested both the inside and outside edges using the above method (handy thing that geometry) and both are out, so I will get a new square (a square one this time) and test my stock again. Any recommendations on a...

I was beginning to think that it might be my square that might be wonky. Can you recommend a decent one that would be worth a try?. Cheers Alex
