HMS G0704 / WMD20 Belt Drive (Stock Motor)

You know, years ago I had a Craftsman Drill Press with the thin belt. I gave the visual of incompetence at first look, but I really did end up liking it.... As I reflect, I think it slipped far less than every wider belt Drill Press I've had since.

I don't mind the stock motor just yet, even though mine smoked within 30 minutes of use out of the crate. I'll have to wait for the replacement and hope it runs a bit longer the next time. But, while apart, I could do the belt drive now and swap motors down the road easily.
