SHAFT for the TOP IDLER DRUM ASSEMBLY - for a VINTAGE DELTA 6 X 48 BELT SANDER

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 TWO 060" 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 THE 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.
