John, I assume you have not been able to make yours track, even
with this adjustment. There must be something wrong with it. Mine gets
very hard use, and the only problem is an occasional broken belt.


Ok, to be more specific, the belt will track and it does work... but
when I really put a lot of pressure on it, the belt will slip off
about 50% of the time. I've adjusted it every way possible, but the
problem is that it's just too flimsy to take the beating I'm putting
on it.

I have only ever used the Dynabrade other than this, and I must say it
was really a night and day difference. I'm a huge fan of HF, but I
think this is one of those tools that I'm going to have to bite the
bullet on and get the expensive version.

Take care,
