I sat down at my 9W-7 after spending some time cutting out some squares, opened the cabinet leaf, pulled up the head, then went to run the belt up on the pulleys ......... the darn thing broke, again. Now it really is too short to cut again. Nuts.
But the good news is I caught my wife in time for her to pick me up a new belt at the LSMG place.
So in a little while I'll be treadling my little feet off
OBTW, that's a lesson for those of us that have to store our treadles out in the garage. The weather may or may not harm the wood or metal, but it sure dries out the leather belts. I need a better set up.
