Re: Atlass MFC knee quesitons.

 

3L link belt isn't cheap, but it is available. I'm not finding any at Travers.com, but MSC-Direct should have it. they did when they were running Enco. Just did a generic search, and found that Amazon has it.?? That was just one link, there are others for other lengths and costs.?

I have a totally off topic question for you. I just got one of these mills, and the belts are breaking apart. What kind of belt are you using there? I see it's not a regular v belt. Do you need to disassemble the headstock to change it?
Motor Belt: L3-125
Spindle Belt: M1-85S
The motor pulley is either 9-428 (1/2" motor shaft) or 10-428 (5/8"motor shaft).
Those pulley part numbers are the same as used on the 10" Atlas and 12" Craftsman lathes which use a 1/2" wide 4L series belt. The spindle pulleys are narrower and I believe use a 3/8" wide 3L series belt. I regret I do not have cross reference numbers but if you measure the LOA of the outside surface you should be able to find the right sizes in fractional horsepower belt charts.
You will need to remove the spindle to replace the spindle belt.
