I have a Ryobi 4x36 Belt/Disc Sander, Model BD4600.
Even with a new belt, it slips or stops as soon as a piece of wood touches it. The yellow gear on the right changes the position of the belt, but does nothing to tighten it. I don't see any kind of adjustment to move the two rollers further apart to tighten the belt. There is a s***w inside the lever mechanism that allows you to change the belt, but it doesn't seem to have any relationship to make the needed adjustment.
The solution?
