Hi guys,
Recently installed a new serpentine belt on my 13". The lathe seems to vibrate like crazy as the joint on the belt goes around the headstock pulleys. I have it scarfed almost perfectly on both ends, the thickness of the joint isn't even much more than the regular belt itself. As soon as I release the tension on the belt to take the belt out of the equation, the vibration stops...so it seems to clearly be the belt. This is the first time I run the lathe after a complete overhaul so I cannot say how it was before.
Ground both sides down to the cords and then glued it together.
Anyone experienced this before? Video below (but hard to tell the vibration on video)
