Dear all,
The v-belt on my lathe frayed and broke:mad: and so I bought a new one, which is an M23. I have not been able to put the replacement one on though. It uses the pulley system where as you move the lever, the diameter of the pully changes so that the flanges either move closer or further from each other. I have had to move the lever to the highest speed just to get the belt on, but then as soon as I turn it on, the belt just slips off. What I am doing wrong, the headstock pulley is very narrow and I can't see how to widen it easily. Thank you in advance for any help.
