- About the belt and where to buy
This is a Habasit F1 belt which has proven to work well on machines up to about 1.5 HP (depending on the width). If you have a machine that needs a flat belt, send me the required information and I'll send you a quote. My email is: Flatbelts@mail.com
NEEDED INFO:
1) Name
2) Address (US only please)
3) Belt Width and length (actual length without the ground tapers)
5) Pre-spiced? (Y/N)
6) Prepared ends only? (Y/N)
7) Do you Need Gluing Guide and Glue? (Y/N)

Thanks
Mark Fantastic job and creativity. Gave me an idea for a wire stripper. (insulation splitter) Once upon a time I was in the automobile salvage business and have a trailer load of old copper wire that needs to be salvaged.. Also I can never get enough of seeing the old re-furbished Milling machine at work. A verry sweet machine. Thanks for bringing us along. Terry from Texas
Thanks Terry.... Yeah I love my mill. It looked rough when I got it and I was disappointed when the original motor was toast but the eventual change to a 3ph motor with a VFD that converted 110v to 220v was amazing. Plus the mill has almost no wear. Really I never realize how variable speed would be so beneficial! Sometimes a slight change in RPM makes a mill cut way better.
@@WinkysWorkshop I understand my PM 833T has 220 v0lt single phase and I have to stop the spindle and change speeds with levers and as we both know transmissions all have rpm gaps between ranges. I have a BP Clone that I completely gutted the electrical panel on and installed a Fugi Mini (10 HP) VFD. the Mill still has the original 3 horse 3 phase motor on it and it is smooth as Tennessee Whisky. Quite as a mouse and simply love how quiet it is. I rarely use the PM 833 T since I got the Clone up and running. That is quite some little VFD you have going from 110v single phase to 220 3 phase. I would love to read up on it. I may go back to the video you made on the VFD and look it up. Thanks again.
I bet you are one of very few who do this sort of work. That will keep it worth doing.. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.
Industry still uses flat belt for conveyors mostly but the cost of the tools is is ridiculous. $750 for a heater plus glue and guides is crazy. For about $30 bucks you can install one of my belts which is a huge plus.
Great video, sure enjoy watching. Reminds me of my machinist apprenticeship @ Disston Saw in the mid 70’s, there were still a few belt driven lathes in that old shop.
I like flat belts. They are smoother and easy to make pulleys for but V belts definitely grip a lot better.
Mark I cut the belt down that I got from you also. It work very well. I've done leather work for years. I built my on roping saddle. I have in my leather tools a belt cutter to make belts to ware and it cuts the belt I got from you very easy and very accurate. Just a though if you wanted to look them up and possibly get one. You can adjust it to cut any width . and not expensive.
Same here,leather working tools.
Thats great although I now have a cutter that indexes. This indexing was important due to the new belt guide design.
Excellent video,Mark.Export to Spain?Thank you.
Always an interesting video from you, Mark. Thanks. Les in UK 🇬🇧
Thanks
.... and here's another Les from the UK, seconded the first Leses comment 😁.
@@lesmaybury793 Haha... THANKS!
Well done! 👍👍👍👍

Thank you! Will do!
Very smart thinking mate.
thanks!

Ha... thanks
Hello Winky, another good video, thanks for sharing, cheers from me. 😃👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the visit
@@WinkysWorkshop Thank you, have a great day, Cheers from me.
Good to innovate to a working solution. In woodworking or metal working we would call it a scarf joint. Is that an industry specific term you are using?
Thanks! Yeah, I've heard the term Scarf but all the belt suppliers call it a skive.
Where you at WINKY. NO VIDEOS.
Yeah, thanks for asking. I had a few other obligations plus some minor health issues. I've got one ready to post on Friday and plans for several more so stick around.
I can see a take up drum to pull the belt! A long belt would be tough!! 73 dan
Most belts are under 6 or 8 feet. It's not hard to pull.
Nice project. What kind of belts is the slitting about?
I once bought a little low cost Chinese belt grinder. It used a very odd dimension of belts. Belts found were both longer and wider. The length was handled by making a new, longer, arm for the tension mechanism. To split the belts to half the width a manual cutter was made and used. Manual pressing a fixture using a commercial cutter blade made it possible.
The bet is Habasit F1. The roll is 2" x 100 meters
@@WinkysWorkshop Thanks! It looked different from my cutting ready belts.
Can this kind of belting be used with the old style belt lacer? A friend of mine has some machines in dire need of new belts, but require the belt be openable, with the crimped in lacer ends. He’s tried leather, and the belting from hay balers, but they are both to springy, and the machines don’t run right, I guess the tension varies?
Anyways, If the belting you sell can be used with lacing, I’ll tell him to get some from you!
The answer is yes but the belt is much thinner than many belts that use lacing. The belt itself is plenty strong but the lacing needed is smaller and it's kind of wimpy. I recommend against lacing with any belt if at all possible. The lacing makes installation easy but the cost of the tools to install them is probably higher than the glue, heater and guide.
@@WinkysWorkshop My friend already has a lacing tool, and the machines that need belts are multi day disassembly jobs to put fixed belts on for him, so he’s sticking with laced belts! We’ll find the right stuff eventually!
Honestly, that is the advantage of the belt I have, it can be threaded through a machine and then spliced. Of course it is possible that in your friends application that their isn't enough room to perform the splice or that the machine has to be dissembled to move. Send me an email and I'll send you a sample.... or if the belt is not very long I'll send the whole belt for free as long as you pay the postage.
Well funny I was just thinking I should get new belt for my 10” light s/b and click on UA-cam and there it is . Anyway how do I measure for new without cutting the belt I have ? It’s an under cabinet mounted motor
Make a mark on the belt with a felt marker and manually turn the lathe with a 1/4 pocket tape against it. You can also tape a string to it and roll it around and measure the string.
