VINTAGE DELTA 6" X 48" BELT SANDER REPLACEMENT SHAFT - TOP IDLER DRUM ASSEMBLY
Full Description
REPLACEMENT SHAFT FOR THE TOP IDLER DRUM ASSEMBLY ON A VINTAGE DELTA 6 X 48 BELT SANDER.
OUR NEW AND IMPROVED IDLER SHAFT USES 1/2-20 NYLON INSERT LOCKNUTS IN LIEU OF THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT METRIC NUTS DELTA USED.
OUR SHAFT IS PRECISION MACHINED FROM TURN, GROUND, AND POLISHED 4140 ALLOY STEEL.
THE SHAFT COMES COMPLETE WITH TWO LOCK NUTS, TWO THROW-AWAY FREE SPINNING SET UP NUTS, AND FOUR .035” THICK SHIM WASHERS.
WHEN BEARINGS FAIL AND THE SHAFT OR DRUMS SPIN INCORRECTLY ON THE MACHINE, THE WEAR POINTS ARE THE AXLE AND THE ENDS OF THE SMALL BOSSES ON THE DRUMS. EITHER ONE OR TWO OF THE SUPPLIED SHIM WASHERS WILL COMPENSATE FOR THE WEAR ON THE DRUM BOSSES.
INCLUDED WITH THE SHAFT, NUTS, AND SHIM WASHERS IS A SET OF STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW WE HAVE FOUND IT BEST TO ASSEMBLE SHAFT AND IDLER COMPONENTS. OUR SUGGESTED METHOD IS TO ASSEMBLE THE BEARINGS, SPACERS, AND DRUMS ON THE AXLE AWAY FROM THE IDLER CASTING AND DETERMINE THE SHIM REQUIREMENTS TO PREVENT THE NUTS FROM BOTTOMING OUT ON THE STEPPED SHAFT PRIOR TO TIGHTENING THE ASSEMBLY AXIALLY.

Reviews From the Shop Floor
I'm restoring an old Delta drill press and the original work light was missing the actual socket, switch, and cord. What I purchased is a great direct replacement and it seems quite high quality. I would recommend this seller to procure parts to restore your old machines. Worth the money. Good job!

Very fast shipping of rare parts for vintage Delta jointer (The ones made from REAL cast iron). Seller was able to combine shipping and refunded part of the purchase price for multiple items. Very pleased to find this seller.
