To effectively use a belt sander for woodworking projects, start by selecting the right grit sandpaper for the job. Secure the workpiece firmly and move the sander in the direction of the wood grain. Avoid applying too much pressure and keep the sander moving to prevent over-sanding in one spot. Finish by sanding with a finer grit for a smooth finish.
Possible misalignment of items on the belt path, causing wear to the sides of the belt, which would cause it to break. If the water pump was installed using excessive tourqe on one side, this could cause the pump to drag, and cause wear to the belt and overheating.
