Re: Automotive flat belts for lathes
Looks to me that some are determined to make this as complicated as possible. The most reasonable options are: 1. A flat belt glue-up kit from multiple vendors at a cost of about 30 bucks. 2. A

No, at least, not on my heavy 10. The headstock has a cast cross support. On my 9, I do just remove the spindle.

Re: Automotive flat belts for lathes
I removed the spindles on both of my 9A & 10K Lathe. I have noticed that the 9A belt sucks because it slips a lot. The10k works great w/o much belt slippage. I believe the 9A is a gator style belt.

Re: Automotive flat belts for lathes
belt without cutting it first? Not on all lathes. The headstock support on my light 10 (10k) is cast such that the belt has to go through two separate holes on the way to the under-mount drive. You

Re: Automotive flat belts for lathes
My preference is the wire hook splice as it can be removed/replaced by pulling the pin. The ticking does not bother me, but I can see it bothering others. Frankly, the only time I hear the ticking is

Lacing leather belts has been done for a long time... works very well!

Re: Automotive flat belts for lathes
That sounds similar to the instructions for lacing a belt from the "how to run a lathe" book. I've done that for a rivet forge fan belt, but found that I prefer skiving and glueing. It seems to run

Re: Automotive flat belts for lathes
I know this is a bit off the wall but… I recently replaced the round leather belt on an old treadle sewing machine. Normally one would drill/punch a hole near each end and use a hog ring. I ended

Re: Automotive flat belts for lathes
I made a couple BXA and sent them to a couple friends but neither have tested them yet. They will work but I wanted to make absolutely certain the bolt holes line up with a BXA holder.? I can get the

Re: Automotive flat belts for lathes
So you knew someone would ask about a BXA version for a Heavy 10, right? Don Verdiani Westtown, PA Sent: Tuesday, December 31, 2024 1:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [SouthBendLathe]

Re: Automotive flat belts for lathes
I never figured out why the other tool failed to work well but it may have had to do with the tilt of the blade. The problematic design had no tilt (or back rake angle) The new design never fails but

Thanks, Mark. I was going to make a tool like the Armstrong spring tool. Last night I went through your videos and noticed that was one of your early attempts. You indicated that it worked well, but

Thanks Mike, the parting tool works very well. I've actually made five designs variation over the years. I think I finally perfected the design. As long as the feed rate is right (about .001" to .002"
