started sanding on the top for Earlene's tv stand and belts are blowing apart at the seam
3x24 Klingspor belts bought probably around 2000
NOT BLAMING KLINGSPOR as I have had them a long time and just never used them
one on the sander is a 40grit and it held up fine but probably has been on there since 2000
changed to 120 and blew 3 in a row got less than 30 seconds usage out of them
changed to 150 and same deal
changed over to old Sears 3x21 sander, same deal
thinking belts are old and seam tape is just not going to hold
stored in basement of air conditioned home with humidifier running in summer time
no rust on tools stored down there, no mildew issues, just have not done any woodworking in way too long of a time
SO who do you recommend I buy more belts from and obviously I need to order less and use them up in a year or so
headed to Menards, getting some for tonight
