    Hi Tom,
    my motor is set up on a plate with oval slots so just by adjusting the motor position and tightening it down again it adjusts the belt tension. If you have some form of speed control, i.e a dimmer light switch or a foot pedal you wont often have to change the belt position anyway.
    Hope that helps :)
    Paul.
