I adjusted the drums as directed in the manual but the right side of the rear drum will not adjust any higher
As now I cant get the front drum to touch the material without cranking the feed table too high and stall the feed table.

Any tips ?
Thx Jim

OK - things were working - the front drum was touching the material - then
you started making adjustments - and - now you cant get the front drum to
touch the material without cranking the feed table up too high and stalling
the feed table belt because the rear drum is too low.

Why were you adjusting the rear drum?

To be of much help we will need more of the story

When I bought the machine recently it had no sandpaper in it so I followed instructions in the manual applied sandpaper to the front roll I just did it to my blocks that I just did the back roll but in order to get it I just did parallel to the front row I needed to raise it up .
The left side of the role I have lots of adjustment up and down but the right side on the microwave just screw it will not come up high enough
It seems that I ran out of adjustment on the right side when I tried bringing it up 1/8 of a turn to allow for sandpaper grit
The machine works fine but when I ran material through it it was only sanding on the rear or secondary drum the 1st drum is not touching
Thank you for all your help
