I'm hoping someone can help me out with a problem I'm having with my reeves drive on my Jet JWL-1236. In the past month or so, there've been a few times when I try to move the variable speed up, like after having it at the lowest setting for putting on CA for a finish and then wanting it back up to max speed. Well sometimes, it'll actually slow down as I move up the speed levels, to the point that the higher it moves up, it may even evetually stop altogether.
I've looked at it without the cover on and what seems to be happening when it does this is that thewheel that's towards the back and is supposed to expand and contract isn't doing that and so the drive belt is barely moving.
I've taken a picture of the area where I think the problem is, but of course I took it after I fixed it- but what has fixed it each time has been to push the round coiled spring I guess it is, off to the left some, because it seems like the problem is almost that there's too many coils around the outer ring that's the thicker area below the long skinny part that the coil is mainly on.
I've tried using brake cleaner on it, because I know that had been recommended before, but that doesn't seem to be solving the problem. If anybody can catually understand what I'm describing- my apologies for not being better able to put this into words and describe things clearly- then if you have any ideas, please let me know!
