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
....

General is a real outfit; I suggest contacting them directly.

I've no personal experience with their machine so can't comment directly
on just what might be the specific cause behind the symptoms altho
perhaps the previous owner did something to cause an issue? Do you know
whether that person ever had it set up correctly or not?
