I have a mid-90's 20 inch Craftsman Made in China Drill Press. Today I noticed that while trying to tension the belts at 1800 rpm that the tension lever would slip and release tension just before I could get the proper tension. Here are my questions...
1. Should I replace the original belts? If so, would you recommend link belts?
2. If the belts don't need replacing, should I try to pull the pulleys and look inside the housing to repair the tensioning mechanism?
Any other ideas/tips/advice will be greatly appreciated.
