I purchased an entire shop and was so pleased to acquire 3 pieces of machinery in particular: a 5 HP Powermatic table saw, a Laguna 16" band saw, and a Performax 16-32 drum sander. I used the Performax for the 1st time and had a serious problem with it that is not covered in the troubleshooting info in the owner's manual.
When I run the conveyor feed belt it creeps down from left to right (towards the drive motor) when you are feeding your lumber. I didn't realize it until the feed belt began to get chewed up, so now I get to buy a new belt as part of my fix, so I need parts. This issue is not covered in the troubleshooting guide. I aligned the passive roller with a micrometer on both adjustment screws, but that didn't fix it. If you own a Performax 16-32 and know how to fix this, please reply.
My 2nd problem is finding someone on line with customer service reps who can help me. Performax Products was bought out by Jet about 14 years ago. There is no direct link on the internet to Performax customer service. If you know where I need to go, please send the link or a phone #. Thanks.
