I've got to replace the leather drive belt on my old South Bend lathe. I
want to use a skived glue joint for the splice, but am not sure what type of
glue to use. Any suggestions?

William:

I was in the same situation, and finally opted to buy a new,
reasonably-priced belt with a metal splice (textile composite belt,
pin-and-loop splice) from Kyle McGowan. His website is at
http://home.earthlink.net/~ninenines/index.html. Email at the address
given on the website for a quote.

Shipping time was a bit long, but the belt has done a fine job on my
SB 14".
