My Logan has a built in cover/tensioner over the belt and back gears. It may be a good idea from a safety perspective to cover the belt and back-gears as there is a reason that modern lathes have these gaurds. Oh, used cookie sheets make excellent chip-pans.
Lol, if you look an the bottom right corner of picture that thing on floor is a cookie sheet I am going to use.

I am planning on adding some guards before I let my teammates start using it. I rather everyone keeps their figures.
