Belt replacement

[djreiswig]

Got the belts replaced on my table yesterday. Last time I tightened them, they were a little noisy. I just tightened them enough to get the slop out of everything, so I think they must have stretched a little over time.

The cross axis one was a job. The upper bearing was pretty stuck on the shaft. Finally was able to coax the top aluminum plate off.
The long axis ones were a little easier, but also a very tight fit. Some threaded holes for jack bolts might have helped, but if I only do this every 8 years, I'm not going to worry about it.
Got the belts from McMaster-Carr.
The table runs silently at top speed now.

Glad to hear you've got it tuned up. Happy Cutting!
