 World's Best Lathe Belting


 


Cutting Watch Wheels

OK, you try to make lathe belting look "sexy".  This is absolutely the finest late belting available in the world.  It is made in Switzerland.  I have it available in three sizes (2mm for pivot grinding attachments, 3 mm for milling attachments and 4 mm for headstock and countershaft).

The 2 mm is flexible enough to allow absolutely free movement of the pivot grinding (polishing) attachment while also providing efficient power transmission.

The 4mm belting provides enough "grip" to drive the headstock in  low speed, high torque applications while not requiring you to tighten the belt so tight that bearings get damaged.

There are no "belt connectors" to fool with, and the belting does not stretch or "whip" as do the other types of belting.  The ends are joined by starting them to melt with heat (over an alcohol lamp).  You wind up with a "mushroom" of plastic at the joint which you then trim with a razor blade.  It is very easy to create a joint which is almost undetectable and is very smooth over the pulleys.

This is sold in 5 foot lengths at:

2mm                  $5 per length

3 and 4mm        $6 per length

These prices include postage  in the continental US.  See the Ordering Information Page for complete details.
