IN PROGRESSTop Drum Cover
From Bob Vaughan:
The pictures below detail Shane Whitlock's cover repaired with body filler{Reference:http://owwm.org/viewtopic.php?t=49974|Rockwell Belt Sander Restoration Pics}:
Chris Kuehn repaired his with JB Weld and reports that is has held up well{Reference:http://owwm.org/viewtopic.php?t=25277|6X48 complete, have an issue}:
Before filling, fiberglass can be applied to the inside as reenforcement. A fiberglass repair kit should be available from your local auto parts store.
Fitting Newer Covers
Newer top covers won't usually fit earlier sanders without some modifications being made{Reference:http://owwm.org/viewtopic.php?t=25277|6X48 complete, have an issue}:
Note also that new/old top covers won't work properly with old/new side covers. The shape of the bump-out where they meet is a different shape. The newer ones have a straighter side to the bump-out.{Reference:http://owwm.org/viewtopic.php?t=50230|Pics! Delta 6" Belt 12"DiskSander #31-730 for $100}
Side Cover
From Bob Vaughan:
Side cover repair on Shane Whitlock's sander{Reference:http://owwm.org/viewtopic.php?t=49974|Rockwell Belt Sander Restoration Pics (updated all finished)}. The original metal has been completely cut away. A previous owner has riveted on additional metal and Shane cleaned up the repair with body filler.
