What a long process. Many operations. Lets hope it works!

Nice job! I like your plastic belt sheild! My belt snapped and flew off last week and I got a wack across the neck with it...I need a shield. Did you make that?

Space Fan:
Chris,
The shield is an afterthought Just for that reason.  I'm big on shop safety and that belt is spinning at eye level!

I did make this one.  It's just three pieces of plexiglass glued together.  I was going to bend it but this 1/4" stuff alwaws cracks on me.

I'll drill and tap for screws when I get it installed.  I was thinking I'd add a top piece if thee was clearance...

Very nice job on that belt drive.

We're going to need a picture of it all mounted on the mill though.  :poke:

Bernd,
I had to extend the wires to the motor, far too short.  Luckily I had one of these plastic metal lined flexible conduits on hand.

It's about half as quiet as before. It works well.  It might run in a bit and quieten down a bit more..
I like the mod!
