Issue type: Equipment Problem
Area: Woodshop
Equipment: Belt Sander - Large 36" Powermatic
Summary: Thickness gauge is not in agreement
Additional Info: I used the thickness gauge on my work piece to set the height of the belt. The belt is far from at the correct height.

Furthermore, the belt mechanism is making a periodic sound that I have not heard before.
