almost finished with my 3 wheel platen . Pic 1 shows it with belt tight, pic 2 shows the swivel arm for belt or wheel removal . pic 3 I slotted the swivel arm so I can control belt tightness in several position or add another wheel in the future .

Thought I would share

Could be nice to have non isosceles triangle of the correct dimensions to have three different belt lengths to work on. Good idea with the damming action to tighten the belt. Can you lean in on the belt with good pressure without the third wheel loosening?

Good job.

I see no reason why the wheel should loosen , but if it does I can pin it in place.
