I had an issue come up twice over the weekend, so I thought I would mention it here and see if anyone else has run into the problem and maybe keep others from going there.
Two separate customers at the American Association of Woodturners Symposium asked about tracking issues following adjusting the sanding frame angle.
After a bit of questioning, it occurred to me what was going on. If you're a little over-zealous in loosening the machine screws that secure the sanding frame to the motor, the frame can pop out of alignment when you adjust it...then when you tighten it up, the sanding frame will be angled relative to the motor and bottom pulley.
Make sure the frame is fully seated as you tighten the bolts back up. There are three surfaces, and all should be parallel and flush. If they are, you won't have any problems with tracking when you tighten the frame back up.
