Didn't have any problem with slippage using a hinged countershaft on the cheap copy of a cheap copy of the early Myfords that I had years ago. Obviously could happen, but if there is enough movement in the hinge to allow the belts to be completely slack and they are well guarded, it should be OK.
1st metal lathe questions, recommendations, advice please.
