Hi all
I have a Powermax drum sander (like the Jet) and generally I'm happy with it. However, just recently I've been having a few problems with slippage. The sandpaper-type drive sleeve doesn't grip the workpiece, so the workpiece stays in one place the drums dwells and leaves a witness mark. SO instead of being smooth and flat there is a hollow.
Has anyone else had this problem and have any ideas about fixing it. It's as if the sleeve has lost its grippiness.
