Issue type: Equipment Problem
Area: Woodshop
Equipment: Belt Sander - Large 36" Powermatic
Summary: Not operating, has proper conditions.
Additional Info: The sander won’t operate — it’s in its standard silent failure mode — but it has proper external air pressure and it’s not triggering either tracking sensor. I checked that the input pressure was correct (80 psi); it looked like people had fooled with it, possibly setting too high. The air inside the cabinet sounds louder than it should be to my ear; I wonder if something inside became disconnected.

I checked it just now and it seems to be working. No indication who worked on it.
