I think I'd call Grizzly and tell them what's going on, it should be more accurate than that.  If they can't help , tell them you want another sander.  See what they say to that.

If your paper is wound tight without the velcro, it should be closer.  May have a bent shaft somewhere, I would suspect the conveyor first since it moves slowly and the sanding drum is fast.

Yeah if the machine is brand new call Grizzly. They usally pretty good on warranty stuff.

Maybe check the drum roller to see if the bolts are tight on the bearings

You should not be troubleshooting a new machine from Grizzly. Get a return voucher, send that P.O.S. back and get a new one.

thanks guys i will call grizzly tomorrow or mon see what they can do for me..

Yep

Howdy Jason
I agree with calling grizzly
Hope your dad makes out well and they release him soon.
Tell him I said hello.

Good deal Jason, shipping is shaky right now! 

Shipping isn't the only thing shaky there:)

Just sayen:)

Hey , I'm solid as a rock and almost as fast ...

Not gonna say a word:)

Thanks to everyone for jumping in and helping out with this problem. Hopefully we will get it solved and can get on the right track for grinding our own materials. On another note still in the hospital. They are not sure what happened other than I was unable to get any air. My lungs were and are clear. No blood clots, no cancer just my COPD. Could have had something to do with it but they can't really say. Good news is I am going back home Sunday, so I can see if I can figure these grinding issues out.😊😊😊

That's great to hear, watch the sanding dust! 

That's great news.

About the sanding dust, there are some woods that bother me when sanding.

Maybe that's what happened to you.

I now wear a facemask when around fine sawdust.

Sanding dust could have been the culprit. I am pretty lax on mask wear. Going to be a lot more mask wearing now!

Yup, I've had short of breath problems after being in heavy sanding dust.

Bamboo is nasty to me so I mask up and wear goggles when running boo through the drum sander.

Maybe because I've done so much boo.

IPE gave me a severe reaction years ago and messed up my immune system.

Once you become allergic to one species of wood, it doesn't take much to be bothered by others.
For me it was pau ferro. I built two bows with it and I noticed that it made me itch. Now I find that I'll sneeze quite a bit after sanding. Sometimes hours later I'm still sneezing my head off.  I used to be covered from head to toe in wood dust with no ill effects when I was younger.

Yew and coco here, walnut a little...

Coco bacote bolivian rosewood here.
A guy ought to used to wearing a mask now days. 

I would like to get an air helmet, but they're super expensive.
The company I work for bought one for our painter. Really nice. $1500.
