So I have both on a single Axi lathe! It’s the 355WL model, the first two letters change mine is AC, currently the range is AW, but it’s the same…. Three different belt positions and variable speed for each….works perfectly, for pens and smaller stuff I use the fastest, medium bowls, the middle, and the slowest is reserved for the biggest bowls I can turn around 11”
Its simple to change them and takes as long as changing a chuck, it also as was mentioned earlier helps massively when starting to turn large or off centre pieces, then as the wood is removed you can speed up again….
oh and no affiliation to Axi but they currently have some lathes reduced…
