Default Rubber belting, where to buy (USA), etc

Where to buy round rubber belting online? So far, I have one or
two possibilities, McMaster-Carr and Cadence Supply Company.


If McMaster has it-- then quit shopping and order them. I love
those guys. Their nearest warehouse [NJ] is about a 4 hour drive
from me. I just ordered some stuff thursday evening about 6pm---
arrived in my driveway at 11AM Fri- $5 shipping. Cheaper than the
gas to drive to HD.


Also. How can you tell the minimum pulley outer diameter of a
rubber belt? McMaster-Carr says that their 3/16 inch rubber belts
have a minimum pulley diameter of 1 1/2 inches. Is there some
rule, like a belt that is twice as thick requires a pulley that is
twice as wide?


They also have great customer service with folks who perish the
thought] know more about their stuff than most of us out here on
Usenet.

Any other information about rubber belting is appreciated. Like
resources for gluing the ends together.


Probably even know the answer to that one.

I *hate* the phone. But I'd make an exception in this case if I was
in your shoes.
