ok quick update. as i said i don't have access to a lathe so i made all the rollers with straight D.O.M.tubing, but i really wanted to put a crown on the adjustment roller to help with the tracking. Well i figured out how to do that, even though i don't have a lath. I used an angle grinder. if you hold the angle grinder tangentially to the roller is will not only spin the roller at a nice rate it will also grind off material. So i did it. I put a nice crown on the roller and it is now tracking is even easier and is much less prone to running into the side of my sander if I press too hard on one side or the other. Just a tip I thought i should share.

Good tip on that angle grinder, hardtail69.

Every once in a while, my ignorance presents it's self.

Please inform me just what is D.O.M. tubing.

Drawn Over Mandrel = thin-wall tubing

It's a reference to the means of production.
