I recently bought a used craftsman lathe, and was assured it work very well, just needed a drive belt. I bought one from a belt store, and it seemed to go on quite easy. Too easy. There seems to be a lot of play, like it needs a tensioner or something. There is a zipping sound when I start it. Then if I put any load on the turning wood, it completely stalls the wood, and motor keeps turning, along with the zipping sound of the toothed belt slipping.
Any suggestions? besides getting another lathe. That has already crossed my mind as I have been reading some older posts.
