I wasn't thinking that you would want to make that change, with yours so far down the construction journey, but there might be some ideas that you can incorporate without starting over again with some of the accessory tables for instance. With your machined all over and heavy sections with no welding, warping out of shape should not be an issue for you. I look forward to the conclusion of your project, and the support cabinet looks the part too, Good luck with it all

Another thing I learned over the last few days is that I cant spray paint as well as I once could. I sprayed mum n dads cars and all of mine when i was a lot younger....and a lot better than this.
But i reckon this still looks good...in dim light

found it on the net...and change the tracking and tension arm supports to mimic the newer version of KMG Belt Grinders. I googled KMG images saved and scaled and copied as best I could...and all worked out okay

google KMG spring dimensions and you will find them on another forum..but I just used what I had as it was close...and although a bit heavier/harder I moved backwards to supports to prevent it being so harsh a movement on the tension arm.
