Re: Automotive flat belts for lathes
|
Just go with a link belt its much easier, i have used them for years had no problems with them. If you need a flat belt use leather . there is a seller on e-bay. he is in Niles,Ill . he will make them to length. On my south bend lathe i have a tool to join the ends. I call them eagle claws ?

A think a ?” minimum step overlap would be minimum I’d try for 1” step, that should hold for years with the right glue, clamp, cure time. On Dec 28, 2024, at 7:45 PM, mikemm58 via < mmcauley@...> wrote:
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.

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...! ? Mike
