Hi there - I’ve got the Tysew 801 skiving machine - does anyone know how too loosen the main belt? So I can take it off?
Kind regards

Hi there - I assume - it would be these 2 bolts I have too loosen - then the belt Will loosen?
thank you
Well done on joining the skiving machine community. My first piece of leather skived was the tip of a finger when stupidly reaching into the machine to clear something. I suppose you only do something like that once (or no more than ten times).
Like above, there'll be that nut to loosen at the back of the motor attached to something like an L-shaped bar. If I had to guess, just going by your snaps, I think it might be the one circled. Let us know how you get on. and send us some more pics of the machine. I'm always curious to see other ones. Good luck.
Hi Sam, I will copy/paste my reply from your email yesterday for the benefit of the other members (in case someone else has the same issue in future);
'To loosen the belt, it looks like you will need to loosen the motor mount (you can see it's on a hinge). I don't know if yours has spring tension however, so just carefully try pulling the motor towards yourself (power off, with the machine unplugged) to see if the belt gets any slack to remove it first. If not, there is probably a nut or hex bolt that needs loosening. Yours is a little different to mine so I'm going by your photos here (thanks for sending them!).'
Isn't that just a matter of loosening the motor support and lifting the motor!
