Solution for the RS-150 belt problem:In the process of replacing the
belts on my machine I discovered what is probably the main
cause for the belts jumping out of place. The pulley on
the left hand honing wheel are not in line with the other
pulleys! They should be exactly centered between the
drive pulley on the grinding wheels and the final pulley on
the right hand honing wheel. When you sight between the
two pulleys on the LH honing wheel you should see the drive
pulley and the final pulley. Instead the sight line is
beside them.
A fix is easy. Remove the LH honing wheel shaft and move one washer. As shipped my machine's washer sequence was 1-2-1 starting from the front. If you change it to 2-2-0 they are in line. This should really help with belts stretching and jumping. I am no mechanical genius so I think any decent technician could do this. How to install belts on the RS-150 (applies to RS-75 as well).
