Drive belts

Steve Bergeron All Messages By This Member #116511 I am getting close to needing belts for my 10F with Horizontal Countershaft. I want to go with the link belts. Can someone recommend a good brand and how much length will I need? Steve
[email protected] All Messages By This Member #116514 Hi Steve, One of my 10" Atlases that's still stock uses a 4L310 spindle belt, which is 1/2" wide x 31" long. Yours is likely similar in size, and the number, 4L310 or A29, might still be readable on it. My antique one is still barely visible. If this original belt goes bad, rather than pulling the spindle I'll use a piece of orange Gates Nu-T-Link belting; have had a 31" piece set aside for that purpose for a few years now. Bought a 50 foot roll of the handy stuff years ago at NAPA (not seeing it there right now, but ask your local one) for around $25. Looks like a roll's up to around $36 now. There's a picture of it on this page: I see it and a couple of other styles on Ebay, too. Handy stuff, I've used it on other fractional hp equipment and have talked to several guys who've used it on their Atlas lathes. I have about 40' left here, more than a lifetime's supply for me. If you can use some and you're in the USA, LMK. I'll be happy to mail you a 3 foot hunk for the postage cost ($9 Priority Mail to US addresses). Drop me an email and we'll go from there. Hope that's helpful. God bless you, Dave Harnish Dave's Repair Service drs@... Pontius Pilate: "Joseph, I don't understand.

Pumpguy Member Profile All Messages By This Member #116521 I have been using Nu-T-Link belting on my Craftsman 101.07403 12 X 24 standard change gear bench lathe for many years now; at least 20. I've found that this belting is directional when it comes to its power transmission. ?For me, when installed so the high portion of each link is toward the back (motor) side, there is less slippage than if installed with the high portion of each link toward the front. ? Also I find that some of the T pins turn in service so they're at less than 90* to the run of the belt. ?Every so often I take a pair of pliers and go over the belt, turning the shifted pins back to 90*. ? Knowing this, I would still use and recommend Nu-T-Link belting for this lathe with recommendation it be installed with the high side of each link toward the back of the lathe.?
Larry Hoelscher All Messages By This Member #116522 I also use link belts for all my pulleys on my Atlas lathe.? I would never want to dismantle the lathe to change/replace belts.? Whether you want to use a HF belts or find a different manufacturer, the same reason holds true. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Fri, Mar 22, 2024 at 2:18?PM Pumpguy via <oakservcs=[email protected]> wrote: I have been using Nu-T-Link belting on my Craftsman 101.07403 12 X 24 standard change gear bench lathe for many years now; at least 20.

Andrei All Messages By This Member #116523 开云体育 Same here. I have been using link-belts for about a decade. In my experience, I think they run a little smoother and a little quieter than the old v-belts. Pick any brand you want. They are cheap enough that you can experiment and find out which link-belt is favored by your machine. Just make sure you pick the right size.?
