I have a delta 1" x 30" belt sander model 31-070, bought used. I cleaned out all the sawdust and ran it a few times but the motor didn't want to start on its own. I would move the belt to get it going and it would run, poorly. Recently I tried to use it but the motor wouldn't spin, just hum...

We have settled in enough where I can start to do a bit of work on my garage. After living in our previous house for 8-1/2 years we have grown out of it and with our oldest starting school in the fall we wanted to find a new house. I don't plan on moving again so this is our 30 year house...

On a work trip to Colorado recently I stopped in a pawn shop in Fort Collins to see if there was anything work buying. There was a decent selection of air tools and miscellanous hand tools. I passed on those because of flying there and back, but I picked through the three boxes of sockets and...

Here goes! [/IMG] D*mn the Torpedoes!
