belt down mod for hitorque lathe.

made some more progress. decided i will make a lever on the front of the machine that controls the belt like a clutch. i made the mechanism that moves the tensioner pulley.
here is the drawing of the actuator/ detent thing (don't know what it should be called) the numbers are kinda weird because it is drawn to 4x scale and it has a mixture of to scale measurements, and real life "actual measured with ruler distance" to do the trigonometry for x,y coordinates.
here is the actual part. i made it on the mill with a boring head.
here it is in "idle" position.
