There is a limit to how many times a motor should be started over a time span, the less time between starts will increase the winding temps. A motor will pull its max amps during start-up which creates lots of heat, allowing it to run non-stop will allow it to cool down and actually may reduce electric use. I would start it and let it run untill I was done for more than an hour, wear on your belt shouldnt be a problem if the clutch linkage is adjusted corectly. Looks awsome!!
