Hi folks,

I am not the best when it comes to motors and belts. We just recently moved, and while for the most part this was a dream move damage wise, I just realized that the motor mount on my old 6 inch joiner broke. This is an old, but workable, joiner that a fellow woodworker just up and gave me when I found out I didn't have one.

My question is, after I put the motor back in place, how do you get the belt back on? I know you supposed to relax the slack somehow, but I don't know what "how" that is.

Can someone help? I may be able to put a pitcure up of it soon.

Thanks!

Dell

It will mostly depend on the jointer. On mine the belt is tightened by pushing down on the motor and then tightening the bolts. Others could be different.
