Looking at one of our upgraded machines: The Client is complaining that his Grizzly G8689 Mini Milling Machine has no power. Asking about cost he determined it was just too costly to buy the complete kit. Especially since he already converted his machine with a belt drive from the Little Machine shop. After explaining the complete conversion, I looked at his machine and spotted the after market drive. Figuring it would be easier to fit his drive I asked him to bring it over. We agreed on a fix as seen in the video.
Although the little machine shop belt drive cannot perform as good as a timing belt, it actually performed well. Make sure you adjust it tight.
The motor, pulley and belts used in the video are available here:

The motor, pulley and belt for the 1 to 1 ratio will be listed soon.
I have this in hand, contact me on servomotorkit.com if you want to invent it.
