Byrnes table saw - belt tensioning


Recommended Posts

Hi All

Is there a way to tension the belt?

I was ripping some planks today at it sounded as if the belt was rattling against the belt guard.  I removed the guard but there was no apparent way to apply more tension to the belt apart from lifting the motor on its hinge point.  As a result I've chocked some wood under the motor and this has solved the problem.

Anyone know a better way?

 

Thanks

Mark
