how do you replace the grinding band on this product?

The same as on a dremel. It has a tiny screw at the top you loosen and it takes the pressure off the wheel so you can remove the band.

The plastic guard on the top lifts off. If it is your first time removing it may stick slightly. Hold it in your hand, put your thumb under the guard lip, and push up slightly. It eventually pops.

It is the same with all dremels. Simply remove the safety cap and there will be a philips head screw on the top side of the band. Loosen that screw and the sanding band will slide right off. (It's not necessary to remove the screw, just loosen) Slide the new sanding band on and tighten. Tightening that screw also gets rid of the problem of bands that keep sliding up or down.

You pull the clear part on the top straight up and it pops off. Then you can get to the grinding band to replace it.

Yes it took me a while. Pull the clear plastic top off, DO NOT try to unscrew it, just pull it straight. Then loosen the screw at the top of the band, again DO NOT take the screw right out, just loosen it. You can then wriggle the band off and replace it with a new one and retighten the screw and replace the cover. I hope that this helps.

My grinder is in basemant with another things when I missed return time. I did have problem with grinding wheal. After every grinding was too loosen or fell of place.

It is fairly simple to change the cup wheel. Unplug the grinder first. Then towards the front on the left side of the grinder on the silver part there is a black button. Press the button down with your thumb and spin the wheel with the other hand. When the wheel is spun far enough the button will depress slightly further and will lock the wheel in place. Then you continue holding the button down and turn the wheel counterclockwise and it will thread off. It can sometimes be on there pretty tight. Good Luck

Yes, after less than 2 years, my grinder stopped grinding well, I couldn't fix it, and had to get rid of it. I was really mad.

Hold the upper ridge of the wooden column and the bottom ridge with the other, then twist apart. Then dissemble the metal grinder to set it as wanted. Try first I guess; mine was finer than I wanted.

All you do is pull up on the grinder assembly like you do when you clean it. The new one is a direct drop-in replacement. No instructions are needed, or provided.

I know what your talking about! I haven't tried very hard to fix this.Im thinking along the lines of shimming it with really thin strips of metal,but I haven't tried this myself,Im also considering welding a bit ,then grinding it till it fits. Best of luck!

The band can be replaced. I have gone to the Timex website and have found replacements.

Dremmel/grind down the top cover retaining pin, so that you can remove it completely. You can get a new pin later if you want to go back.

I get my discs from here: http://www.worlddiamondsource.com/wds1.aspx?Id=Polishing_Pads_for_Hand-Held_GrindersI'd call and speak with a customer service rep, who can direct you to a particular abrasive depending on what materials you are working with. I've been dealing with WDS for years and they have been very knowledgeable and helpful, as well as competitive. Best of luck!

You should be able to pop out the old grinder and push the new one in. But, our new one didn't fit as well--it got stuck and I couldn't take it out again to wash until at some point it expanded in the heat, and it came loose.

i have no clue. im sure there is a way to get parts for them, but there out in china. if there is a will, then im sure there is a way. im not too worried about it though honestly. for the price, it works well, and its way under priced for the ratings at which it grinds. sorry, not a great answer for you, but i only bought it for the dogs, and it grinds the bones and all. it does the job i ask of it.

You need to grind off the little pin on the retaining pin to remove it. Unfortunately it's a permanent solution.

The handle is plastic, but the grinding part is metal. One down notr to this product is the handle tightens up and then it's hard to turn. The solution I found was to unscrew the top part and turn it.
