Hi, I have one of these, (purchased about 3 years ago). I would not buy another as there is a design flaw in the "gearing". There is a central pulley wheel that allows the 2 belts to be moved up or down to change speeds. The problem is that it is only supported by a very thin piece of plate at the bottom end only. So if you put the spindle belt on the top pulley and the motor belt on the bottom pulley it effectively "pulls" the central pulley over to one side and the belts bind and the motor stalls. Its not a major problem from me as it does not get that much use, it just means you can't use it in the "high" speed gear.
