Speaking of lathe belts
|
I also have been thinking about the? issue of flat belts. If you live rural ask a farmer if they have discarded belts from a round baler.?? Asked a neighbor and he had several, 6 inches wide and 18 feet long. He also had the splicing tools.? It took some effort to cut them to size but I replaced the belts on 3 machines for zero dollars.
??? ??? A belt place can slice to what ever width ya want . One
of those tape measures that sewing folks use can be real handy for
measuring what size belt ya need , Real handy for measuring all
sort of round things .

It looks like Steve sells some good stuff although I
am curious about his belts and splicing method. I
used to work for a printing company and took care of
most the belts, splicing and training for belts
splicing. Most the belts were for conveyors but many
were rated as drive belts as well. Anyway, all the
belt suppliers told me "there was no way to get a
good strong splice without heat". They also told me
that there were cold glues available but recommended
against using them. I wonder is Steve uses a cold
splice method??
I've been retired for about 7 years now but just
over a years ago I found two spools of surplus
2-inch wide Habasit F1 belt material.? This is very
good belt and good up to about 1.5 HP (possibly
more). At the full 2-inch width it sells for
$13/foot and I'm selling it at any width for
$5/foot. I will splice for $5 and ship for $8.?
If you need to splice a belt on your lathe I can
accommodate but the heater, guide and glue will add
a 1-time cost of about $40.?
So a continuous (pre-spiced) belt might be $28-38
bucks and if you want to splice it yourself it's
more like $68-78 (depending on length needed).
I've sold about 400 ft and have about 280ft left.
Its not selling super quick but once its gone I'll
be out of the belt business. New belt is just too
dang high priced!?
Send me a private message if you are interested in a
new belt and I'll give you price.
Include the length needed and tell me if you want it
pre-spliced. (US Shipping only)
