Porter Cable Cable 0330 Speed - Bloc Finishing Sander - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

there is a wrench supplied with the tool that you need to insert in the slot on the clamp and push the wrench towards the tool to open the clamp. Now if you follow closely I can direct you to a manual and parts list. Go to "dewaltservicenet.com" and scroll down to the bottom and you will find a porter cable link, click on that and then when you get to the next page click on tools. Scroll down till you find sanders and click on that. Next find finishing sanders and you will find your model sander click on the description and it will again redirect you to another page where you can find the manual. The whole manual is 44 pages long but that includes other languages. The page that you specifically need is page 10. If you have a problem let me know and I will try and help. This is the first time that I have had to take this route to find a manual on their site.

Try a less course paper (ie # 80, or #100)

Remove the 4 sander plate screws being carefull not to strip them. Look at the plastic ******** extentions attached/flooting to the houseing and look for broken or bent arms on them ,replace with new ones, this should solve your problem.

I also have a PC Model 136 belt sander. Although I don't do a lot of woodworking, it has proved to be a workhorse when I needed it. I don't have a problem with breaking belts - the last ones I bought at OSH. The problem that has developed with mine is getting the belt alignment adjusted, after a belt change, to not run against the sander body. A little banging (with my hand) will correct the problem. I have serviced it to free up the fulcrum, but it still jams most of the time. This doesn't address your problem, but it is good to hear of someone else who appreciates the fine older tools. Just a further thought - the newer belts I have purchased are bi-directional, e.g., they will run either way. I know that the older belts had to run one way and running them backward could - almost surely would - cause them to break. I won't insult your intelligence to suggest that that might be your problem.

The brushes are not replaceable - it is an entire motor assembly. 1) remove the 2 screws holding the top handle on 2) remove the 2 screws on the top of the housing (front either side of switch) 3) remove single screw holding cord hook (rear side of housing) 4) remove small torx screw in the shaker handle and remove the handle Flip over and using a screwdriver begin to pry the top cover off the housing (easiest to get the front side off first)

call this company, they have the different types I purchased from them and no complaints https://www.ereplacementparts.com/porter-cable-7800-

first you need to remove the tank and get rid of the rust with a rust kill agent, vinga or chemical type with corrosive converter, then liquid paint the inside of the tank, swilling the paint inside and leave to drip out. then find a high pressure line filter, these are a solid filter and put in line. to stop this happening again to the tank you can also put a drop valve in place and when not in use press to release the air inside as this is what rusts the tank. but after the restoration it should be fine without a filter.

Is this it? https://www.manualslib.com/manual/132302/Porter-Cable-Bsv750.html

take it back for a warranty exchange make sure that the voltage listed on the machine is the same as used in the house

Remove the screws holding the 2 sides together and expose the wiring. Remove the remnants of old cord and replace with new one. Reassemble.

Hello Terry Dugger, If it is suddenly stopping it could be a bearing problem... but if it is slowing down like a tired battery... DEPENDING VERY MUCH on what kind of battery you have (undisclosed model ...purpose tool)... "some" RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES develop a memory... and are reluctant to go BELOW that level. Typically these are seldom used tools... wiki does a pretty good description on these batteries (types). There are folks out there that think it is CLEVER to DISCHARGE these thing... or pulse them to BREAK THE MEMORY. Likely to case a fire or explode as to succeed... If you are suddenly using a tool that has been stored foe a while... you MIGHT notice the battery time is getting better... Else just buy a replacement battery... Cordless tools do not do well if stored incorrectly. Hope this helps. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_effect Nickelcadmium battery Porter Cable Home Amazon com porter cable batteries

Here is a manual . Hope it helps http://powertool.manualsonline.com/manuals/mfg/portercable/7800_7801.html

Great video on youtube and pretty similar to the one you have How to Use Care for Finishing Sander How to Install Sand Paper in...

Have you lubricated either nail gun? If not, go to Home Depot and get a bottle of air tool oil. It's in tools by the compressors. Disconnect the air hose from the tool. Pour about a teaspoon of oil into the air inlet of the tool. Reconnect everything and try it 10-20 times with no nails in the tool. Then try it with nails. Good luck.

Any good quality general purpose grease should suffice. If you want a more detailed answer, you need to provide a little more information than just E77 edge sander. Brand, full model number (not the name), etc.

What is the model number of the motor?

To remove the collet (not the collet nut) you must first take apart the armature from the field. To do this, 1. Take the cap off the top by removing the two Phillips screws. 2. Remove the two brushes. 3. Remove the two Phillips screws hidden under the cap. 4.The only thing holding the top and bottom pieces now is a friction fit of the bearings. Tap with a non marking hammer on the top housing underneath the brush holders, and it should come apart after a few taps. 5.Use an armature split sleeve and put the armature sleeve in a vice to hold the armature. 6.Then use a wrench and unscrew the collet from the armature. 7. Just reverse this process to put it back together.

You must purchase a sub base (part number 42188) with a larger hole, it has a 2 1/2" hole, for the bit to fit through.
