M-25 Belt slipping in drill press
I was doing some drilling with my drill press yesterday, using an MT2 shank
25/32" bit @ 300RPM (and plenty of cutting fluid). It was just for experimenting, as I have never used a bit that large before, and wanted to see how my new press would handle it. Everything went well, except that the front (idler pulley to spindle pulley) v-belt (size M-25) would slip the idler pulley (spindle would stop) if I applied too much pressure. This meant that I had to peck at it, which isn't what I am looking to do. So, as this is a used press, I considered getting a new belt, but it is hard locating an M-25 belt, especially locally, and even online (couldn't find one at mcmaster carr) From what I can tell, the M refers to the large width being 10mm, and the 25 refers to a 25" circumference. Would a 3/8" (9.52mm) belt work in this application? What I would like is a belt that was less prone to slipping when I drill large-ish holes (13/16" is the size I will be doing a lot of in the near future). Would a cogged belt be a good solution for this? Any other less-slippy belt suggestions? Thanks, Jon |

Thanks, Jon M-25; Z-25 or 3/8-25 All nominally the same section AFAIR Have you tried just tightening it a bit more? Mark Rand RTFM |

M-25 Belt slipping in drill press
Are you exceeding the drilling capacity in steel vs.HP spec of the drill press?

Thanks, Jon First try to clean the belt.May have years of oil and dirt on it. Perhaps IPA, ispropal alcohol, get at any drug store. Check for glazed spots where the belt has slipped a lot and particularly clean there. Other possibility is the belt may be old and stiff and has a spot with a permanent curved hard spot. That may mean a new belt. Also clean the pullies. Paul |

M-25 Belt slipping in drill press
Was the hole drilled trough already to allow the web to pass ?
I work up on drills - not every size but plenty. If important I might use number, fraction, letter, metric and do a fine cut at the last. Remember the center of the drill mostly pushes with a turn. the outside has the surface length to turn. Without a center hole the center of the drill has to cut or mush out to be cut the core as wide as the web diameter. Martin Martin H.

M-25 Belt slipping in drill press
What Martin sez. It never ceases to amaze me people that take numerous passes in a lathe seem to
expect a drill of any size to cut cleanly and efficiently in one big thrust. It takes a finite amount of power to remove a given amount of metal whether it be in one pass or many passes. A twist drill is a poor cutting tool compared to a lathe bit. Bob (call me a pecker) Swinney "Martin H. Eastburn" wrote in message ... Was the hole drilled trough already to allow the web to pass ?

If you have a split point drill bit, you have a lot less force needed, because it cuts right to the center. (Not as efficiently near the center, but enough to make a big difference in performance.

In thic case, there was actually a full through hole, 7/16" in diameter. Remember the center of the drill mostly pushes with a turn. the outside has the surface length to turn.

Aye, thanks Don. The Silver/Demming bit I will be using for my 13/16" holes is indeed a split point. Jon |

I ended up getting a Gates belt from Napa in 3/8" instead (3L250). Although I was concerned that it wouldn't be wide enough, it was actually wider than the supposedly "M" belt that I had on there before, actually measuring about 10mm. The sides of the new belt are nice and grippy, and I don't think I'm going to be having any more problems with that belt slipping. Jon |

He'll take your suggestion of 3L250 Napa belt. But yet another problem - do you know the size of the other belt required for the Mark 1 drill press? The old one disintegrated, so no way to measure. The drill press model # is C-114FX - spindle mount #2.
