Hello all,
I have a Rikon 70-220vsr lathe. Had it about 6 months now. But, I just noticed that the belt keeps jumping over a bit off the top pulley. The belt once turned on slips over so only half the belt is on the top pulley. And the lower pulley actually can move around a bit, people who have this lathe...is the Lowe pulley normal to move around a bit. I tried tightening the set screw, but won't tighten any more.
So main concern is why is belt slipping on top pulley and is it normal for bottom pulley normal to move a bit?
