[BlindHandyMan] Belt Sanders
Hi, I enjoy using my belt sander and it does a good job of removing material. Sometimes that is off my fingers smile. My sander is starting to make noises and I think there is something going wrong with it. The round sanding disk is not tightly connected to the belt sander. So, when I turn the belt sander while it is off, the round one does not turn. But when I turn it on, it does. It is making a bit of a knocking noise too. I'd like to take it apart and see if there is anything that needs to be tightened or lubricated. Any suggestions on how to do this? Not sure how it comes a part. Thanks, Keith C

Re: [BlindHandyMan] batteries
most rechargable batteries are not the same voltage, most are rated at a lower voltage and will not operate certain items and can damage unit ..bob [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Re: [BlindHandyMan] batteries
maybe a lower ma rating? I seem to remember numbers like 1650 and 1550.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] batteries
spiro You shouldn't mix battery types because both there voltage and internal resistance differ between types. Thus the load placed on each cell will not be ballanced and one cell in a mixed pack can discharge before others. this can cause excess heating in some cells, particularly with devices that draw signifficant power like anything with a motor. The best that can be said is that you won't get decent battery life with a mixed pack, the worst might be hot cells or even explosions. As for why a device might say not to use rechargables, 2 ideas, 1. any battery sensor that tells you when batteries are low won't work correctly with rechargables unless it knows to do so. This because rechargables have different voltages. 2. since most rechargables have lower internal resistances than alcaline cells, much more current can be drawn from rechargables. It is possible some device might draw so much current as to get cells hot if not designed with proper current limiting circuits. So be good and do it right, you'll get better battery life and less excitement. tom Fowle OnSat, Aug 14, 2010 at 06:17:11PM -0400, Spiro wrote: okay, Tom or someone explain this to me: a toy my kid just got says this: do not mix *alkaline, *standard, or *rechargable batteries do not use *rechargable batteries.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] batteries
And yes the capacity of different cells vary so you're guaranteed to not get even discharge and best life. tom On Sat, Aug 14, 2010 at 06:44:46PM -0700, Tom Fowle wrote: spiro You shouldn't mix battery types because both there voltage and internal resistance differ between types.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] batteries
If you mix batteries and the rechargeable ones run down first there might be enough power in the others to keep the device going just enough to cause it to continue to be used. If that happened the rechargeable ones could be damaged by reverse polarity. Regards. Max. K 4 O D S.
