I am starting to put together my B-4. I had to figure out the wiring on
the reverse/forward switch which didnt work. It now works.I was
wondering how should i keep the tension between the lathe and the drive
pulley? Is it common just to slide the two apart to create tension? How
tight should the belt be? Thank you in advance for any suggestions. Pete

If your counter shaft has slotted holes, you can slide it back to set
the tension. The belt needs to be fairly tight to prevent slipping.
If you are just starting out with lathe work, it may be better if the
belt was not super tight. If you have a crash, better to have the belt
slip before things break.
