How much mate? I wouldn't mind you making profit either (a wee one natch).

Wildestcat · Oct 10, 2014

Hi Ken. I have sent you a PM.

Timbuck · Oct 10, 2014

I've just ordered some more materials...enough to make 3 or 4 kits

..I might make one for Sven one day

Sven · Oct 10, 2014

I could make you a soprano ukulele.

Timbuck- What are the symptoms of this problem? I am having a slight problem keeping the drum parallel to the table. Pals, Vic.

My feed is failing... it wont take hardly an cut without jamming. Time to think about a replacement.

could be dust in the roller bearings and reducing gears..Best strip it down clean and lubricate...or just sell it as is, and get a 16-32 model.

it just needs setting up right and locking in place..I do mine with the sanding belt off, and use an old steel ruler as a feeler gauge in between the drum and the conveyor...With the machine switched off of course

My thoughts entirely Ken

If you are building up a list of buyers I would like to add my name to it please!

I just completed the repair Kit for the USA Guy..He sent me his spindle so a could machine the new nut..This spindle was only .007" undersize but ! it still stripped the threads

...I've been keeping a record of the spindle sizes .. Starting from the smallest .545", .546", .546" .547", .553"

My 16/2 has never had the problems that you've mentioned with the 10/20 and it's got a ton of use on it. The only thing I've ever replaced is the feed belt.

Yes ! I think the 16-32 is a better design also..but I don't have the space for one.

Just to keep you updated...Another Jet 10-20 stripped ...This time in the South of England.

Timbuck · Mar 29, 2019

Just fixing another with the kit for a Guy in Iowa ..I've upgraded the kit now co's the sizes of the spindles vary that much, I now use split bush design that can be adjusted to fit all sizes with a couple of adjusting socket screws..so there will be no need to send me the spindles anymore I'll just supply the part direct...I intend to have them available on eBay soon.

Sven · Apr 2, 2019

That’s it then, I want one in case mine fails.

Pete Howlett · Apr 2, 2019

Not 'in case'... when!

Timbuck · Apr 10, 2019

These are now available

Another 10-20 thickness sander broke down (same fault) and the chap who bought a repair kit from me gave me this nice feedback today.

Thank you so much for making your Jet drum sander repair kit available for me to buy. Many thanks too for your video showing re-assembly. I carried out the repair this morning and the rise and fall mechanism now works superbly well – better than I ever remember it doing.
