Is the roller on the belt supported on one end or both? (in other words a "through" axle?) I shape this a lot and need it supported at both sides.

yes the roller is supported on both sides i use it to sand alot...however it is not completely flat....must be to keep paper in track...also not as much power as i had hoped...the disc sander creates alot of vibration and noise so i removed it. i would pick a different machine if i was buying again.

Both rollers for the belt sander have a through axle. Belt tracking is controlled by one of the rollers. I have had this sander for a year and have not had any issues other than when I first got it the guard around the disk sander would rub the disk, a little bending here and there and it was fixed and has not been a problem since.

the idler end of the belt is supported by two sealed bearings, that share a common axle. That axle is supported on both sides.

No problem on my side. As long as u keep it on its wheels and not dragging it on the side.

They are separate. The indentation where the handle is would not allow for a single axle.

Dear Diane,Do not purchase this piece of crap. You can barely walk on it, let alone run. The belt gets stuck every time the seam rotates through the roller. I didn't even bother returning it, I junked it! Hope this helps & sorry for the bad news.

Perhaps, but I think the square bar axle might wobble if supported on one end only.

There is one axle bearing assembly per unit. You will need two if you want to do both sides.

Correction to my previous remark....the wheel, yoke and inner shaft all move together (yoke is welded to end of inner shaft) I use this on my utility trailer and it is quite durable. I wish that I had bought it much sooner. It is very helpful whether you have a young or old back!

There are Two wheels on one side..and a handle to lift and roll on the other. It is really not easy to move..

I don't know about the speed, Mine runs at the same speed all the time. The belt will run to one side or the other until you get the tracking set correctly. It is simply done by turning the yellow wheel on the front of the unit. Turn it one way or the other and the belt will center on the rollers and run true.

You can not drive through both ends. I returned mine after having it up for four days! A strong wind came and knocked it down. Be wise save yourself time and buy a more sturdy version

The rollers are sleeves over (larger than) the bolt. They roll. I do not see plastic bushings on the ends.It is a good rolling unit.

No, it's very accessible from both sides and can be tightened with two open end wrenches.

Definitely both sides as the picture shows. I hauled an overloaded trailer 1400 miles after installing them and they worked perfectly. Easy to install too and bolted right up myself.

Hi Margaret. I'm not quite sure what you mean, but it sounds as though the belt you purchased is too large if it's not tight enough around the "beater bar" (Which is what I believe you mean by "the roller" - We are talking about the brush roller that "beats" the carpet, right?). That fit, from the drive pulley/wheel to the beater bar should be very tight. I hope this helps.

No, the two wheels are not independent of each other, but you can easily 'arc' the rolling path even though they are not independent.

Yeah. There is a loop in the back that serves as a belt attachment plus there are rings on either side. I used a pair of Nite Ize S biners and clipped it that way.

It is definitely the spring. I tied the middle of the spring together to give the spring more strength and had no problem. One other of the design problems is the cover plate. Look to see that the inside of the plate is not making contact with the big belt wheel. The way to correct this design problem is to use washers to lift the cover plate away from the middle nut of the big wheel that holds the large belt.
