I recently rough turned a couple of large cherry bowls While getting them round I noticed if I got a catch the bowl would stop but not the motor. I can adjust belt tension but how tight should it be. When I stall the bowl should it also stop the motor or is it better to let it slip.
My lathe is a General 26020 motor is mounted in base near the floor and uses a approx. 4 foot belt
