I might suspect the belt is a slight mis-match for these replacement pulleys? 20mm diameter does seem to be somewhat beyond the lathe specification?

Have to say that asking a low power motor, about 400 watts, is asking a lot.

The older original mains powered pistol drills used 350 watt motors and the limit was about a 3/8 or at most a 1/2" (say 13 mm) twist drill.

So 20 mm will call for a lot more torque, and feeding too rapidly will make matters worse.

This is a low power hobby machine, not a 20 hp industrial lathe.

How would you feel about driving a 20 mm drill in a breast drill?, Not a liught job!

Have you read the manual which should tell you the recommended maximum capacity?
