New VFD plus 1 HP Motor for Mini Lathe or any lathe

[jjr2001]

Hello Dan and PJ, The belts are very interesting with so many types out there.
I did use a Poly segmented v-belt on my CNC spindle and no problems at all.
Nice small profile. Seems they use these on vacuum cleaners and sewing machines.

I wanted to try a 3L section Kevlar belt for the lathe and see how that works out.
The belts are available for a good price and they look tough.
Both the lathe to jack shaft set and the motor to jack shaft set will be replaced.
I planning to have them on hand should all the teeth on my timing belts disappear! LOL


Thanks for all the suggestions and comments

Cheers, JR
