Todays Project - What did you do today?

[TomG]

I finally got the hi/low drive system functional on the old Delta bandsaw. It required an 8" pulley and a 60" belt  for the high range, plus a hinged belt tensioner for the motor. I doesn't appear that there ever was one, but how they got by without one is beyond me. I also had to make some spacers to raise the saw and make room for the tensioner, and consequently relocate the position of the belt guard. It took more effort than anticipated, but it sure is nice to finally have five speeds.
