It does look like it takes a small flat belt
Maybe 1 1/2-2 inches wide. These can be found online with varying lengths and widths. It has to be disassembled to get a belt on it.

Re: A new (and slightly off) topic
Cleanliness is the key to success & longer machine life!
Drill presses commonly get used for both wood & metal with no particular problems. Just clean everything thoroughly before & after machining;

Re: howto or help
I think there are two pulleys in the center, one is connected to the shaft, one is loose on the shaft. A flat belt would be shifted from one to the other to either drive the shaft or not.

Presuming it’s the big green wheel you want to drive, replace the black stone on the other side with a pulley or a direct connection to the shaft. I have a similar arbor at home, although it does

Re: A new (and slightly off) topic
Generally, you never want to machine wood on metal lathes and mills.? This is the "common" advice.? It is true that there is a rather high risk of rust as wood, unlike metal chips, contains

Re: A new (and slightly off) topic
Much to the horror of many, I have used both my mini-lathe & mini-mill to cut wood.
