The table on my sander is out from the drum by 1/8" side to side, how do I adjust, at the table or the drum roller?
SOURCE: belt sander adjustment
There should be a knob on the front of the sander which adjusts the front roller on the sander. If the belt runs off in the same direction each time try turning the knob as the sander is running and while watching the belt. If turning the knob one direction does not work try turning the other direction. If turning the knob does not have any affect on the way the belt tracks on the sander then you probably have a broken or missing part on the front of the sander. This may require taking the sander to a service center.

to change the belt push the front roller in and to the side, and it will latch. It is hard to do this. To release push in and the the other way.
SOURCE: Sanding Belt Slips Badly
Check and see if the pulleys on the sander are not glazed this somtimes will cause the belt to slip. Give them a good cleaning. If this does not help there is a good chance the spring on the belt tensioner is weak and need changed.
Hop this helps

The Front Roller may have become Hard and the belt won't hold when you adjust just rough up the roller.
