Here are pics of my lathe and the Reeves drive:
Here it is under wraps:
Here is the Reeves drive set to low:
This is the belt tension at low and medium:
This is the belt looseness at high, and the belt tension:
This it the Reeves drive set to high:
Now, I'm guessing this doesn't look right. I would say that the driving spools are not coming together as they should. The width of the driving spool at high is 23/32" measured to the outside of the spool, and the width of the driven spool at low is 20/32". Am I right, and is there a simple fix for this?
All help and suggestions appreciated!
