Re: Spindle motor drive belts MAXNC 10

Jon, well I took it apart and studied it very closely, and the pulleys
are smooth. The current belt appears to be seated deep into the pulley,
the sides of the "V" seem to have less wear, with noticeable wear
starting about 80% up the V !
I would have thought that was wrong. I'm calling MAXNC tomorrow and see
what they can suggest.....
