I recently inherited a Craftsman Belt Sander Model No. 315.11721, and I went to use it today but realized that the belt needed changed. Only one problem, I can't figure out how to change the belt. I wasn't given a book with the sander, and was wondering if anyone can help me and tell me how to do it. It's a pretty old sander, but it works fine.

Do you still want a manual? I have one in softcopy.

Hello smowery,

I would like a soft copy of the manual.

Thanks,

Bruce

I need your e-mail address to send it.

I'm in the same situation needing a manual for a Craftsman Belt Sander Model No. 315.11721. Could you email me a copy at nwlaptop@aol.com? Thanks.

I am also looking for the manual for the Craftsman Belt Sander Model No. 315.11721

Could someone send me a copy at neuroman-case@hotmail.com

It would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

On your model belt sander, all you do is push the front roller against a solid surface. The roller will lock in place. Change belt and then use a large screw driver and pry just below the name plate. This will snap the roller back in place. You may have to track belt. This is done by turning large screw on the side of sander. Hope this helps. By the way, I am looking for a used one just like yours for parts. I broke a gear and they do not make the part anymore. If you know where I can find one you can email me at denniscindyfoley@yahoo.com

I saw where you have a manual for a Sears 315.11721 Belt Sander. I'm having difficulty releasing the spring loaded roller lock (for changing the belt). Could you please email the manual to me also.

Thank you very much.
