Hi Martyn,
If you decide to use an endless belt and need to remove the spindle, read the forum for instructions on how to remove and reinstall the main bearing covers. That is important if there are slide bearings in it! ? ?

You could use a strip from a supermarket convayerband at the rigisters.
Check out Winky on Youtube how to glue them.
I used formic acid and two pieces of wood with a clamp for 24 hours.
Regrets from the Netherlands of an Heavy 10 owner,
Ruud ? ? Hi,
Just joined the group.
Martyn is the name .
We have an old Southbend lathe, 14 1/2" swing 7ft bed, I believe to be 1940s, with quick change gearbox.
This is in our workshop used for all manor of things related to the motor trade. We build engines, race prep etc.
We are in the UK by the way.
We are in need of a new flat belt for the south bend 1 3/8" wide and 69-70" long.
Where would we get one of these and the joiner for it? Ours is currently joined with cable ties....yes I know...not the best way, but it works.
Is there anywhere in the Uk that supplies these or would it be just US?
Any help from UK or US Southbend users would be appreciated.
Martyn
