Bearing Replacement
The Model W1678 26" Double Drum Sander is
designed for many years of reliable service. But after
long periods of heavy sander use, it may be
necessary to replace the drum bearings. Always
replace both bearings on the same drum.
To replace the drum bearings, do these steps:
1. Unplug the double drum sander!
2. Open the dust hood, and remove the
mounting nuts, the washers and the set
screws. See Figure 57.
3. Lift the drum and slide the bearing block
and bearing from the drum shaft.
4. Clean and inspect the drum shaft for cracks,
burrs, wear, and other damage;
replace/repair as required.
5. Use a screwdriver to pry and rotate the
bearing so it is horizontal to the bearing-
block mounting flanges. See Figure 58.
6. Slide the bearing out of the bearing block.
See Figure 59.
Keep your drum sander
unplugged during all
assembly, maintenance,
and adjustment tasks.
Ignoring this warning can
cause serious personal
injury to you or others!
