Hi,
Regarding nuts loosening, I was considering just taking the belt off
one machine and transferring to the other, wouldn't take but a second,
so that it would only be running one at a time. But good point, I
forgot about that.

I didn't realize I could just twist the belt; wouldn't there be
friction where it crosses itself, and/or other premature wear? Or
maybe not? That would certainly be a straightforward solution.


thanks!
