My nephew wrecked his DC01 by letting a sock enter the beater bar. It
jammed and the belt melted. I'm fitting a new one but I recall the motor
shaft being very smooth and polished - it is now rough Is my memory wrong
and it should be rough or am I right and I have to polish the shaft back to
smooth before fitting the new belt?

I phoned Dyson - 24 hour helpline. It is meant to be smooth - polish with
emery paper.
