I fitted a belt drive conversion on my X2 (The Stirling Steele one from LMS).  It made the machine quieter and smoother plus you get a wider range of RPM's, useful for drilling tiny holes.  I tend not to have the belt too tight, that way it lets me know if I'm asking a bit much of the machine.   :scratch:

Don`t know if this is the same belt conversion as the one you have seen or the one Eric posted in the yahoo group but take a look:

The design looks ok but I don`t like how the suggestions on the first page are not integrated into a modified design - with little workshop experience I would find it hard to change the plans. If anyone has better plans or alternatives, please do link me to them.

I think the next thing I am doing is this great little spindle lock, so simple yet looks really effective: http://bedair.org/spindlelock.html

SpudEvans - I look forward to your project log - I may join you, sneakly one step behind so I can see what is coming. As soon as you choose your plans and know what materials you will need please do post if you are willing.

Chris

spuddevans:
Yea, those are the same plans I have, I'll be basing my conversion on them.

I will post up in a new thread about the materials and work progress in a few days, gotta clean up in the workshop 1st :D
