HOW I MADE A BELT TENSIONER FOR MY LATHE

[mariost]

When I try to find out how to change the belts in my lathe I didn’ t find the belt tensioner. I found the screws to regulate the tension but there was no tensioner inside.So I decided to make a new one from scrap I had in my lab. I am very satisfied from the final result. In the future it’ s possible I make some improvements.
