@Wizcrafts:
I was wondering how you connected the drive for the motor? I have tried setting one up like you said, but with the domestic motor bolted to the board behind the machine.
First attempted it with some leather belting, but didn't get any traction on the domestic motor pulley.
Next I tried some green PU round belting (slightly stretchy - thought it would be more like domestic rubber belt), but the same issue.
Now I'm thinking to make a replacement pulley with a slightly larger diameter, which will hopefully do the trick.
Thanks up front for any advice.
@Constabulary:
Thanks for your post and vid. I probably wouldn't have had the confidence to get the machine without reading about it here.
