GaryNunn Report post Posted May 16, 2015 I installed a speed reducer and adjusted the tension on the belts, but I'm finding that the belt between the motor and the speed reducer slips quite a bit. The speed reducer has a baked on epoxy paint. I was thinking about sanding the paint off of the pulley where the belt touches, but thought I would ask if anyone has any slick tricks to try before I do that. If I go any tighter on the belt tension, I'm afraid I'll burn out the bearings. Gary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
