I recently acquired a Dayton 1" Sander Grinder (model 2Z646Z-1011R). (1x42" belt grinder) It did not come with an instruction manual, nor have I used one before. I replaced the power cord, pulleys and V belt. It is running now. However, I have some questions:
There is an extra idler wheel located beneath the top idler. It does not contact the grinding belt where it is located. Is the idler used for anything in this location, or is it only stored there. (There is an idler shaft with no idler just below the flat platen. I do not know its use.)
There are some extra posts projecting near the idler wheels. I have no idea what function they may have. Were there accessories for the unit which used these?
When I received the unit, it had a 3" drive pulley and a 1 1/2" driven pulley. They do not match, so I suspect one or both may not be original. Does anyone know the original pulley specs?
The flat platen has about a 1/8" gap from the belt at the top. Is this normal, or has the platen become bent?
Does anyone know how I might acquire a manual for this?
Any help would be most appreciated.
