I have a variable speed Powermatic drill press that runs too fast. It is a belt type (like a snowmobile belt). I checked the motor speed and it is only off by ~50 RPM but the lowest the spindle will run is ~350 RPM. According the manual it should be 80 RPM.
Would a worn belt cause this? Seems to me I remember that when a snowmobile belt was worn, low speed (torque) suffered but high speed was higher than normal.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
