Re: Automotive flat belts for lathes


 

Thanks for the replys. I guess my main question would be the type of adhesive to use.??

Also, I'm not sure if i have the ability to cut an even taper on both ends, so I thought a stepped lap joint would work (??)??

(How much overlap should be good?)

The Duralast info states the material is rubber.

Come to think of it... any reason Clipper links wouldn't work? Would they rip thru the material when under tension?

Cut on a taper. Use a belt sander to make opposing tapers on the belt
Glue, overlap the taper belt edges, clamp and let sit overnight.
I forget what glue I used, might have Been Permatex??

Hello,
?
Wondering if automotive flat belts (grooved serpentine type) can be put to use as a drive belt for my 10L.?

I just bought a Duralast #750K7 (7PK1905)
and before I cut it and try to glue together, has anyone had prior success?

Thanks...!
