Questions and answers
31-460 delta 4" sander The bearings in the roller squeals, is there a replacement? The manual doesn't seem to have a parts breakdown, that I can find anyway.
The Delta 31-460 4" sander roller does not use traditional bearings in the near end roller (not the drive roller); it uses a shaft and bushings instead. Therefore, there is no bearing to replace, but the shaft and bushings may need replacement if worn.

I have the 31-460 serial number R9120. There is a hole and a bolt on the end behind the disk sander table. I assume it is for mounting a bar and table for use with the belt sander. How is it used? The manual I found on line has a dust port where the mounting hole is on this one.
The mounting hole (G) on the Delta 31-460 belt sander is used to attach the support bar (F) and table assembly (B). To do this, first, loosen screw (E) and remove the support bar and table assembly from the disc unit. Then, insert the support bar (F) into hole (G) on the belt unit and tighten screw (D) to secure it. The table edge (G) must be positioned a maximum of 1/16 inch away from the sanding belt (H) to prevent trapping fingers or workpieces.

To change the drive belt on a Delta 31-460 Disc Sander, follow these steps:
1. Access the Belt Area:
- Loosen screw (D) and move the sanding arm (E) to the vertical position to expose the belt tensioning screw (F) and locknut (G).
2. Remove the Old Belt:
- Check the belt tension by applying light pressure at the center of the pulleys.
- If the belt is firm but not too tight, loosen locknut (G) and adjusting screw (F) to release tension.
- Remove the old belt from the pulleys.
3. Install the New Belt:
- Place the new drive belt around the pulleys (B) and (C), ensuring proper alignment.
4. Adjust the Belt Tension:
- Tighten or loosen adjusting screw (F) until the belt is firm but not excessively tight.
- Secure the adjustment by tightening locknut (G).
5. Reassemble the Machine:
- Move the sanding arm back to the horizontal position.
- Reattach the belt and pulley guard (A) to the machine base.
This process ensures proper belt tension and smooth operation of the sander.
