The pulley is fixed to the shaft, usually the designers don't worry about the alignment. My Rockwell wood lathe, Hardinge lathe and the Logan shaper I had used two belts with the pulley in the middle having a floating centre. That system gives a huge ratio range, but the belts ran on a slight angle as the position of the centre pulley changes.
On this OLD Delta saw, (found a brochure form 1944) on it they have the motor mount slide in an angled mount to compensate for the change in angle. Oh yah this uses a standard with belt as did the Rockwell and Logan, the Hardinge uses a v-belt about an inch wide.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
