Yes but it is not the free hanging weight of the motor that provides the

Now the older Unisaws may be totally different. ;~)

Tensioning the belts on all Unisaurs that I've ever seen is the same,
and, like you say, pretty much like those on an automobile ... belt
tension is locked in with a bolt and bracket.
