Good to see you've been busy Pete. Seems to be dmaned few metal
manglers left around here.

I just started my mid summer shop project yesterday - rebuilding the
spindle and head on my Excello CNC mill. Had a stone bitch of a time
just taking the motor off. It has two varible diameter pulleys for
speed changes like a 2J bridgy. there must be some trick I don't know
to remove the belt. I'll have to find out before re-assembly.


Look for a place to insert a couple cap screws to compress the spring
that squeezes the pulley halves together. This allows the belt to go
slack while you remove the motor.

DOH!

I knew I was doing it wrong. But far more challenge my way.

Thanks for the tip.
