I'm curious about belt slip. With my current setup, with a
polyurethane belt, I can still grab the chuck or the largest spindle
step and cause the belt to slip. When is too much slip a bad thing?
How soon does your belt start slipping? I also wonder if my belt and
pulleys are starting to get slippery from oil/grease.
Let's just say that when I accidently take too deep of a cut, the
tool bit stops the work, chuck and all, and the leather belt slips
until I turn the motor off and regroup. I have never noticed(heard
or felt since I can't see the belt) it slipping when making normal
cuts or procedures.
