Sander parts

JD Thanks for a good regatta as usual. Here is a link to a company I bought a drive wheel and Idler wheel from for a new sander .Nice turned aluminum. http://beaumontmetalworks.com/index.html
Also I found a company in MN a while back that made the idler tensioner
The ICKLER Co. Or Ikler ?

Regarding wheels

I used a 4" drive and 3" idler. With a 90 inch belt the platten is limited to 35 inches. I use 90 because thats what the group buys.
