The 1/4 horse Westinghouse motor that came with the lathe has an interesting pivot bracket.
Heck a guy could center drill each end, turn between centers and make a better pivot affair.
It looks home cast?? I could just as easily remove it but it makes belt adjustment easier.
I'm trying to figure out a quick and easy way to mount the lathe and motor on this bench to try everything out. I have a link belt coming so I don't have to remove the spindle to get a belt on.
