Good Morning All,
We recently acquired a General International Maxi-Lathe M25-100M1, and I'm having trouble changing the belt speed. It appears that the belt tension should be released by lifting up on the lever under the lathe bed. However, I've not been unable to move the lever either up or down (in or out). Perhaps there is an "unlock" feature which enables the tension release lever to move. Does anyone know this machine well enough to advise me on this? I'm thinking it must be something simple that I'm missing.
Please help!
