    Red face Gmc Belt/disc sander

    Hi everyone,
    Does anyone have a GMC belt/disc sander like the one pictured, I took the front roller off some time ago to replace worn bushes and am having difficulty getting it back together, if someone that has one could they please photograph from underneath the front roller and adjuster mechanism please.
    Thanks
    Dennis

    Hi Dennis,

    If you can wait until the weekend, I can do better than that, you can come around and have a look in person - I'm in Hervey Bay!
    PM me for details.

    EDIT: bring yours over and we can fix it here.

    Regards, Jeff

    He.

    If you weren't so far away I'd offer you mine for parts. I sorta overloaded it and let the magic black smoke out. Still runs... sort of... one winding short in power.

    Everything else is fine, apart from very obvious signs of use and blatant abuse.

    I meant to head out to the shed and take some pix of mine for you, but between work and personal stuff it had completely slipped my mind. Sorry.

    So... I just went out with camera in hand and promptly discovered that I have a Ryobi unit, not a GMC. I did have the GMC, but that was this one's predecessor.

    I don't rightly recall what happened to the GMC... I don't remember it breaking or being given away; most likely it's in the bottom of one of my 44gal "storage" drums. I'll have a rummage later on today but there are no guarantees except that I will find other tools and items that I'd forgotten I had.
