Well... I dropped the motor :doh: :doh: Thankfully, the only thing I broke was the pulley. Just made a LMS order, got a new pully and the motor mount for the 14" upgraded bed. Eric |

Don't forget the taper bearings, and the metal rear spacer....... :thumbup: David D |

What I meant by standard metric belt, was something that I could buy from McMaster Carr. When I needed to replace the belt before, I tried to get a metric replacement. For some reason, none of the metric belts (nor imperial for that matter) would fit. So I imagine that the Chinese lathes were using there own version of a metric belt... and not a 'standard' metric belt. I did the tapered bearings when I replaced the belt. I also have a metal gear on the spindle (broke the plastic one). What is the metal rear spacer?? Eric |

Allowing a little flex, between the bearing tapers, when a fair cut is applied. :( David D |
