Speed Selection
The lathe can run at various speeds depending on which pulleys are connected by the belt:
Do not put excessive tension on the belt - you'll be very happy about the belt slipping in case you've made a mistake and the tool digs into the workpiece!
New belts are still sold at store.lathes.co.uk
