@effischer Thanks very much for the extremely helpful post!  I did remove the speed control cover to have a look around. I noticed that the belt sits at the bottom of the convex pulley when the motor is off. When turned on, it "rides up" toward th... 
SOTA Sapphire speed issue
@regafan Thanks for the reply. I’ll have a look beneath the cover. How would I even tell if the pulley was slow? I spoke to Donna about this awhile ago when the problem was less pronounced. It may be time to talk to her again.@goheelz I’ve thought...
