A Gates V belt should be as close to perfect as makes no difference! An earlier post suggested warming it to ease the storage deflections out of it. I'd do it in a bucket of very hot water, not coiled, and then get it onto the machine as fast as possible while it is till warm and run it at medium speed, good tension, off load for an hour. If it is still causing bother after that, take it back to the shop. You could try sliding it manually along the V of a pulley and see if there are any obvious high spots, or carefully and lightly caress it with a stick of chalk while it is running to find a high spot. Just hope you don't find a high or low spot on one of your pulleys when you do this.
Is it a plain or notched belt, incidentally, please? I'd assume a modern cut edge type, not a wrapped one. Notched ones go round small radii easier as they are more flexible.

Get an Accurate-Link belt. They are available at Harbor Freight. I run these on all my machine tools.

Hi Payson,
If it is the proper belt, Gates is a good brand and there should
not be a problem.? If the old belt behaves differently but is the
same size, the problem may be the stiffness of the new belt.? It
has likely been folded in the same sleeve for quite a while and
has taken a set.? I would try warming it up, perhaps by setting it
in direct sunlight for a few hours and see if that softens it and
makes a difference.
HTH,
Jack

Hi folks,
My friend has a 9A horizontal with a VFD. He bought a new Gates V
belt but says it's shakes at fast speeds, when he's trying to get
a good finish, so put the old one back on. He rebuilt the counter
shaft already. Is there are difference between the name brand
products?
Thanks,
Payson.

Re: Reintroduction to South Bend Lathe Group
Good morning folks,
Yes, as I mentioned the pictures are small, and don't do the machine justice. Also, I can't add all the pictures of the tooling.
If anyone is really interested, they could send me an email and I will attach the pictures to it. AOL is a bit unfriendly sending big files, I usually have to send multiple pictures in more than one email.
I think I will be listing the 10K on Craigslist on Wednesday. I haven't listed there for a few years, so I'm sure there are changes.
Charley.??

Good morning,
Yes, it does, look under "Databases".
I could only assume that the moderator of this group didn't want
to clutter up the message board with items for sale or wanted
Items.
There are three pictures allowed in the Marketplace, and I may see
if I can rotate them. Also, when I look at them they are small,
but maybe when someone else looks at them they enlarge, any ideas?
If downloaded they could be enlarged.
