I got sick of this lathe always throwing the belt if you tried to make a bit of a heavy(er) cut.
I got a belt at wheeling rubber, with the clip in it, no better than my old belt.
Always slipping if you try to take a decent cut. Actually throwing the belt off.
I see Logan sells one that is some kind of rubber, endless loop, the other one, I don't know, I thought it was the same material I got at wheeling rubber.
Everyone raves about the serpentine belt, so I thought I'd try it.
Some are even lacing or gluing the serp. belt.
I got it all back together. I had just got back from the parts store, was going to stop for the night, but I went back down.
Had a little trouble with the jack shaft, ended up taking it off, so I could work on it on the bench.
I did not try to cut any metal yet, just ran it a little.
Pulling the spindle was not all that bad.
I didn't know if I wanted to possibly open a can of worms.
But it went pretty well.
I will have to put my other gears back on, it's still set up[ for 24 TPI, too fast to cut I think.
When I made this bearing retainer nut for the Delta sander.
