my new to me jet lathe

[plab]

Hi all
I'm new to your forum. I hope to be an asset also
first question for all of you.
I just bought myself a jet lathe - BD1340R ..
it needs new belts has anybody out there done this to one of these ?

is it worth tearing it down or should I just buy one of those sectional belts ?

thanks, plab

Link belts are cool in a way cause they are really easy to fit, however they can cause vibration which if really bad will leave witness marks in the job.

Does your "JET" have "Tension roller assembly" on it??? I had a JET BD-920N for about a year until i purchased a IMX 1340, SMITHY.
