Indeed, and the problem that is trying to be fixed is to transmit 3 x the torque using a drive system inside the same envelope as the existing (inadequate) belt. I agree that chain drive would be inferior to a properly-designed belt drive. But it seems that a properly-designed belt drive is not an option. My solution to a very similar problem on my cheap Chinese lathe was to throw away the belt cover and fit dual V-belts. https://picasaweb.google.com/108164504656404380542/CNCUnsorted#5437112986322828066 I am merely trying to suggest solutions that meet the rather bizarre boundary conditions applied to the problem. The real solution is. of course, to buy the Sheldon he keeps talking about and re-cycle the Chinese lathe as ballast. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
