Spindle V-Belt

Proper tensioning of the spindle V-belt is auto- matically set when you push the belt tensioning lever back (see Figure 90).

To replace the spindle V-belt with a new one you must remove the spindle assembly from the lathe. This option is difficult and time consuming.

We recommend the alternative solution of just cutting the old V-belt to remove it, then replacing it with a Power Twist® V-Belt.
