GO459 12" baby drum sander conveyor prblems

Does anybody even have this drum sander?

If there is anybody out there with some information on this drum sander I would appreciate it.

What does grizzly customer service have to say about the plastic part?

I had that 12” baby drum sander and finally gave it away. It was costing me $140 in just over a year to run it. I had to keep replacing the conveyor motor. The plastic gear held up fine but the motors kept dying.

Costumer service just said it has been fixed but they have said this to other people who have this drum sander yet they still have problems. I guess there is a reason there is not that much info out there on these. I guess I’ll just have to look at the go716 or go458 there just a little bigger and weigh more and my shop is getting cramped. Thanks for the info.
