How does this model change speeds? Do you need to adjust belts?

Yes, you change speed by changing which groove on the pulleys that the belt runs in.
1327052
The tension on the motor needs to be released and then the belt can be placed in one of the five different wheels. Not difficult to do at all.

Yes, you just loosen the motor tensioner, move the belt up or down the pulleys and re-tension the motor. There's no rheostat or anything electronic to adjust the speed, pretty much standard on this level of drill press.

Yes, there are a few different size pulleys inside the shroud, and a cheat sheet for which one to loop the belt around to get certain speeds.

I didn't tried to change the motor. But when it's fully charged, the speed is enough for me, Only one drawback is ground clearance is very less

I am fairly certain that the speed is adjustable but 2 hospitalizations have prevented me fro, using it. I recall a speed adjustment knob on it.

Hi, I'm not sure of the belt speed but I can tell you it is not variable. Just on and off.

You can adjust the speed and frequency of the balls firing out. But when you set it up it doesn´t change itself during the play. Also the direction is still the same at this model.

No it cannot be adjusted, but I have never felt the need to adjust the belt. If the belt is sticking use belt lube, and if it is veering to one side adjust the balance with the Alan wrench. If the belt seems way too lose or tight you may have a faulty product. Ask for a replacement or refund?

No. The incline cannot be adjusted. There is no motor. Your legs have to move the belt and that effort makes it feel like you're going uphill. You can adjust the belt resistance or speed. I find that the lowest setting gives me enough of a workout.

Electrician installer told me that you pull descending chain to change speeds. They set at medium speed and it's fine.

The belt is manual and that's what I was looking for. It is very easy to set up and you can adjust it up and down (hill or level). You sometimes have to "fiddle" with it to get it level. Initially you may have to go back and forth with small adjusting the belt but is not a problem. Hope this helped.

I don't remember if it had a setting to change the speed or not. However the balls did come out at various angles and speeds. Keep in mind that this is a low quality product. We used it once or twice and wound up throwing it away.

You can set the speed manually, or use one of the automated programs. I always adjust the speed manually. The increments are 0.1 mph.

The speed adjustment on mine works beutifully though I have trouble balancing material, speed, blade tension, and material feed rate. On occasion the motor bogs at low speed in which case I have to back off, let it regain speed, then feed the material more slowly. My greatest wish is for an easier blade change mechanism.

Mine is a 213.298240 - same model as yours but with stand and table extensions. I did not change the pulleys and got great results. FWIW, a pair of needlenose pliers is very helpful for installing the belt.

Hello, yes it is in the troubleshooting page. How to adjust belt, etc. Thank you

You can also tighten the belt. That will add more resistance and stop the belt from moving too quickly. That's what I did to mine. The how-to part is in the instruction manual.

I can adjust the speed with the throttle, yes, by turning it a little or all the way. I vary my speed easily with the right-handed control. The brake on the left shuts off the motor automatically no matter how fast you're going. This is an amazing zippy thing! :)

The speed cannot be adjusted. The switch provided is cheaply made! Sometimes the unit will not turn off when you switch to the off position.
