Well after looking for the back gear, and the direct drive gear for a little while, I realized.... that there must be an all gear drive version of this beast running around. ( blonde moment ) my bad.
Anyway, this has two drive belts, one from the motor to the main driving pulley, and one from the drive pulley to the spindle shaft ( powering the lathe chuck ).
The best I can come up with is: use the extra interchangable gears that they give you to lock up the rest of the gear box. But I'm concerned with wiping out the delrin gear in the process.
Anyone else with this same lathe ? how do you go about changing chucks ?
