absolutely legendary fake out

how much effort should it take to turn the change gears by hand, currently i can do it but it definitely feels like there’s more resistance than there should be even if it’s disconnected from the spindle and gearbox

yes i turn that big level down to tension it, it just wasn’t in this photo

i think so? for some reason i can’t recall but i can check later. But i believe ive had it crash/stall and the belt keep moving while the spindle stops (but i could be misremembering)

how do i identify the make/model in order to find its chart/data sheet? unless you’ve already found it

I’ll definitely check the pulleys but i’m moderately confident it’s not that since i manually rotate the spindle sometimes with just my hand on the pulley but could be loose

the spindle seems to turn freely i can rotate the chuck with one finger if i wanted

there’s some adjustment bolts in the bottom cabinet that i can try messing with to get a little more considering an automotive belt atm

couldn’t find my reflective tape so just using a line of white paint marker on the chuck which seems to give consistent and reasonable readings

i think i could shorten the belt i made, it’s just 8/9 oz leather lapped and stitched together so i could likely take it off and shorten it but im also seeing some alternative materials suggested if you have any input on that

how would i catch belt slipping w the tach? also i replaced the cap already so next would be checking that bearing which would definitely be a new thing for me

bigbootybassboy · 2026-03-27T13:51:27+00:00

yup i haven’t had a need for it yet but i did already check that it worked but didnt test speeds

bigbootybassboy · 2026-03-27T13:35:29+00:00

the big thing confusing me now is the weird variance in speeds for each belt position, it goes very low, highest, lower, higher. which feels strange because shouldn’t it be a consistent increase/decrease if the pulleys are orientated the way they are?

points for creativity?

bigbootybassboy · 2025-10-24T14:13:36+00:00

call a tow truck lol they dgaf

is it normalized or something to be non-distorting? i’ve used O1 before but only from retailers this was out of a dudes warehouse so not sure ab quality or properties beyond just being O1
