I've always used carpenters squares or flat stock in the past to align motors to headstocks/pulleys.
I went to swap a motor on my heavy 10 under drive yesterday, and after mounting the new one, I have what must be less than an inch of room between the motor pulley and cabinet. Worse, since the edge of the pulley is setback inside the cabinet, even if I could fit a ruler, I don't know how I could get my head in a good angle to see. Has anyone done this in the past or know a trick?
