My Metal lathe would be more than 100 years old and was originally driven by a flat belt. Some one before me has machined a "C" section belt groove to get the drive from an electric motor. I have added a set of 4 step pulleys to give me different speeds. This set up works OK but takes up a lot of room behind the lathe which makes the lathe protrude into my work area.
I have seen a set up on a smaller lathe that had the step pulleys arranged vertically that took up a whole lot less room and allowed quicker speed changes through the use of an over centre handle.
The photo is what I have now, so I suppose if some one can show me theirs I may be able to duplicate it on mine
