Hello:
> ... look at my album ...
Will do. Thanks for the heads-up.
> ... used a 130 W ...
Earlier today I ordered one similar to the one referenced by NapierDeltic in his post.
Only US$7.92.

Yes, I have heard that they don't slip.
But I cannot help but thinking that a slipping belt is a sort of insurance.
And could eventually save a locked lathe.

Yes.
Maybe I should do that directly do it before installing the motor.? 8^/
> ... motors get longer ...
Yes.
The version I ordered is only 80mm long (200W/280mN. m)
I think the 300W version is 172mm long and 400mN. m.
Just over twice as long for ~43% more torque, same diameter.
> ... shafts are 8 mm so a direct fit for the U3 pulley and the fixing screws line up with the slots in the U3 ...
That's good to know.
I also ordered a ER113mm chuck spindle just in case I want to use a different pulley.?

Yes, same here.
I wonder if there's a power curve graph available for these motors.
It would help in finding the speed range with the highest torque.
Thank you very much for your input.
Best,
