The left side wheel,the belts stay on-the right side,no matter what I do they ride off...Yes,I flipped the wheel and turned the wheel.. What is weird,is the higher grit belt stays on better than the light grit... My call is,I got some cheap belts.. Well either way,I think I will keep the Poly for my fossil work-get it figured out one of these days...LOL

I'm sort of having the same problem Mike I think my belts are bit warped by the summer heat
although I find that if I soak them in water first the water friction helps a lot and they run centered
These are S/C belts & cost about $2.50 apiece I need to buy couple more and see if I have the same problem
anyway the new 600grt diamond belt I just bought runs smooth so I don't think its my expando those are bit expensive to have to buy a new one
I dropped my previous one and knocked it out of whack! so I bought another one last year
like a fool I left that one outside all summer long It was in the shade- but nontheless it got hot! but it runs smooth to the touch I'll report when I get some new cheapo belts on the situation
keep on polishing!

Wow @edmohs that is a great idea, the isoprene used in the expandos is formulated to be more sticky when wet, just like automotive tires.
