Re: A new (and slightly off) topic

Re: howto or help
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.
You can also buy small

Cleanliness is the key to success & longer machine life!

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.

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
