chain drive lathe
So why couldn't one replace that dumb ol' flat belt on an old lathe with
roller chain? I seem to remember that roller chain drives don't offer perfectly smooth power transfer, but is it going to be a big deal? The biggest loss, for me anyway, would be the loss of slippage when crashing the carriage but the advantages of no slippage/shucking of the belt under heavy load seem attractive. John |
