Dayton 6X48 Belt Sander

I picked up a Dayton 6X48 belt sander at a garage sale recently. It's in
great shape but short the table. The sander looks exactly like my neighbors
Craftsman and uses the same cam type adjustment for the belt but the
fittings are metric and the shaft that supports the table is just a hair
smaller than the Craftsman. I could drill/bore out the casting to use a
Craftsman table but would rather not if I could locate metric table mounting
hardware.
I checked the Granger web site but didn't see any thing related to ordering
parts. Does anyone know where I might find parts for this critter??? Does
Dayton have a web site?? Rob Mills ~~

If it is convenient and the hole is long enough a reamer wold be the
way to go. Some of them will follow the bore.

The repair parts link is at the top of the page at www.grainger.com
When you follow the link, if you have the model # of your grinder,
you will be able to enter it and maybe bring up a parts diagram
online. They also have a toll free number 1-800-323-0620 for their
spare parts operation.

I have an old model Dayton floor model drill press. I e-mailed them with the
info on the press and in about 3 days I received a .tif atachment from them
with an apology for taking so long.
Can't beat that.

Thanks, just tried it and came up empty. Guess the sander is too old, too
bad as it doesn't look as if it's been used very much. Oh well, I probably
wouldn't use the disk end very much anyway.
Thanks, Rob Mills

Don't give up because of the web page. Give Grainger a call on Monday.
They are usually pretty good about parts.
