Sonny, My belt kit arrived yesterday, and I managed to find some time to install it. One question - how tight should the belt be? I know the belt drive is...
My understanding is, once the belt kit is installed, the gear train is no longer in play. So there shouldn't be any further concern about gear breakage. ...
Anthony, I'm not worried about the gear breakage, as like you said, I've removed the gear train. I'm more worried about the belt slippage and the required ...
Mark..I would tighten the belt up as much as reasonable without overloading the motor bearing, or stretching the belt. Once that's done, the idea is that if...
Question is, how do I determine how much tightness is too tight? Should I be able to hold the spindle in place while turning up the power? Mark At 07:40 AM...
If things become an individual judgment call. I'd go in the direction of a slight bit looser, rather than too tight. If the belt slips at the feed rate and...
Mark, you're worrying about a non-problem. Never seen the belt slip and i've milled a lot of steel stock. Since i'm a little paranoid about stressing that...

ron, My hogging steel was kinda tongue-in-cheek, but I guess I forgot the little smiley face.. I've been using my mini-mill for close to five years now, and I...
With a small belt like that you couldn't possibly make it tight enough that it won't slip if you hold the spindle still and then power up the machine. Once the...
that does sound to light , but it should be a mater orf tighting a little and try holding it, and keping that up till you find the right mix. I have a older...
