Link Belts
I have been following the thread on lathe abuse and one of the things that
struck me was the suggestion to use a link belt. I have a Myford mystro lathe and changing the belt is a real hassle. Can anyone tell me what type of link belt would be right for my lathe and where I could buy one in the U.K.? Tom |
Link Belts
Hi Tom
What kind of belt do you have on your Myford lathe ?? If it's a V type belt, you need to measure the width of the belt, common sizes are 3/8"-1/2" and 5/8"wide. and you then can use a link- belt, You just need the length and width If you have a flat or multi-V type belt you will not be able to use a link belt. http://homepage.mac.com/l.vanderloo/PhotoAlbum30.html Have fun and take care Leo Van Der Loo On Jul 28, 7:25 am, "Tom Dougall" wrote: I have been following the thread on lathe abuse and one of the things that struck me was the suggestion to use a link belt.

Tom I returned a reply to your e-mail, but it bounced. Yes it was as I thought I remembered, as my nephew in the Netherlands has a fairly recent model Myford lathe, even though that is a metal lathe, it has flat belts, and he was telling me the hassle it was replacing the one belt, as it has two if I recall. It would be so much easier if it had been a V-belt, to bad. Have fun and take care Leo Van Der Loo On Jul 29, 2:00 am, " wrote: Hi Tom What kind of belt do you have on your Myford lathe ??
