Anyone know how square, flat or round drive belts are manufactured?



The flat and square are molded as a long tube, then they are sliced
off to the required width.

The round are molded to the proper diameter either to the finished
size, or as a long bulk piece that is cut to size and glued.

Onieda used to sell a kit of bulk flat, square and round rubber along
with a cutting jig and a tube of industrial crazy glue to make custom
belts. The glue has to be VERY fresh or it didn't hold for very long.
