May as Well.
Hi undies,
While you have it apart, you may as well Grease up the Bearings.
So Maybe the reason you busted the Belt, was like I did, the Belt was not on the Pullet Right.
So did it Split up the Centre ?
Great Little Lathe The Leda.Regards,

One of the problems with these lathes and a lot of other midi lathes is that people put too much pressure on the belt and split them from overtightening.
Really only needs the weight of the motor and no more.
Yes it did rain here last night as well.Jim Carroll
