Re: Atlass MFC knee quesitons.
You probably tightened the belt too much. I don't have issues with mine, and runs quieter than a standard v-belt

Re: Atlass MFC knee quesitons.
I tried a link belt and found that it made changing speeds more difficult.? I prefer a cogged belt.? I think a cogged belt runs more smoothly than a normal V belt.

Bill, I know how dpdt switches work. But you mentioned battery and I was curious if you have some off grid setup. That is interesting to me as I am in the process of searching for some off grid land

Sorry, I mis-spoke.? The spring I used is not actually pictured, it is installed on the lathe.? What is shown there is what was clipped off.
Even, so, I meant to make the spring stronger than what

The new spring has 2 extra turns. Look up the specs in machinery's handbook. They should be functionally identical.

Re: Atlas MFC knee quesitons.
They only have the 1/2" link belt. It's up to nearly $40 for a 4' (IIRC) length. Checked, it's $34.99 for 5'. I got the 3L belt from Enco years ago. Amazon has it, too, in various lengths.
