@@MrModify thank you for your interest. That belt tensioner isn’t pretty but it saves me a lot of time. I use the lathe a lot and change speed often. Thanks again Joe
@@thomaskearns7350 Hi Thomas, Thank you for your interest and your comment. I hope you are getting something useful from the videos. Jim and I put in a lot of time to produce them and it really helps when we hear from the subscribers. Joe
@@rcurry8531 Thank you for taking the time to comment,input is greatly appreciated and often useful in knowing what will make a good video. I get most of my ideas from subscribers. Thanks again. Joe
Well done, Joe & good implementation of a time-saving idea that just might encourage the user to change from high to low, or vise/versa a bit more often when a speed change is called for.
Nice work Joe, it solves a problem of not always changing the speed, either high to low or vise/versa when we know we probably should. This mod will help with that. (Hopefully)
@@bruceang82 Hi Bruce, Thank you for your interest and your idea. I had not thought about this modification until we spoke on the phone. Also the longer belt was your idea and it definitely makes changing the speed easier. Thanks again , and I hope to see you at Cabin Fever. Joe
awesome! I just bought the same lathe and I can't wait to do the same improvements you did. Thank you for sharing
@@MsFactnotfiction congratulations on your new lathe. You made a good choice. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on our videos . Joe
Very nice job. I might be redesigning my tensioner as well. You have some good ideas.
