Questions and answers
My belt sander has been making a very loud screeching sound for sometime. It sounds like dry bearings or something. The machine works fine, but at any minute I'm expecting it to fail. About 4 years old, but hardly used - maybe once a month.
A loud screeching sound in a Clarke CS48 belt sander could be caused by several factors, including:
1. Improper Belt Tracking – If the sanding belt is misaligned, it may rub against the machine’s frame or rollers, creating a screeching noise. Adjust the tracking knob to center the belt properly.
2. Worn or Dirty Bearings – Bearings in the rollers or motor may be worn out or clogged with dust, leading to friction and noise. Cleaning or replacing the bearings may be necessary.
3. Debris Build-Up – Sanding debris can accumulate on the belt, disc, or rollers, causing resistance and noise. Use a stick belt cleaner to remove unwanted material.
4. Loose or Worn Belt – A loose or stretched sanding belt may slip, causing a high-pitched sound. Replace the belt if it is worn or damaged.
5. Motor Issues – If the motor is struggling or has internal wear, it may produce screeching noises. Check for overheating or unusual vibrations.
Regular maintenance, including cleaning and adjusting components, can help prevent these issues.
