Duracraft VS-312 Bandsaw restoration (3): Drive sprocket and belt installed

 On the Duracraft bandsaw... after checking the alignment of the wheels, I've found that the wheel bearing have about 1mm of side to side play.  I've ordered shim washers that I'm going to use to get the play down to 0.1 mm or so.  

The bandsaw drive belts came in today.  I set up the motor driving the bandsaw drive wheel.  See photo below. 

I pulled the drive sprocket out quite a bit to get proper belt alignment.  I may make a spacer later to get repeatable axial placement of the sprocket. 

The video below shows the operation of motor, pulley and drive wheel. Next task is to install shim washers to reduce axial play.
