- It's a long video. I'm sorry about that.
I picked up a Sheldon KS Metal Lathe and while playing with it the very old leather belt broke... twice.
I talk about the lathe and the tools it came with. I take a look at the second lathe I picked up with it, a Little Giant wood lathe.
Both machines use a leather flat belt. I mix up a leather conditioner using lard and cod liver oil to treat the belts. Then I spend way too much time trying to cut and fit the metal lacing on the new belt.
Again, I'm sorry it's such a long video.

Small world, I was born in Greenfield Mass. and had many relatives that worked At the Greenfield Tap And Die,for a couple of generations!!!
They have been gone for a couple of decades now! Done in by Cheap Chinese knock offs!!! Incidentally GTD was a major employer in the area for a long time, During WW2 were a big factor in the war effort, having at one time over 1500 employees and three plants.
More info can be had at a historical website “ Museum of our industrial heritage,”
Check it out.👍

That's great. Thanks for sharing. A lot of things were given up for cheap Chinese knock offs. I think that's the right link I shared. I'll check them out. And, I hope others check it out too.
Yes where did you get that nice leather belt? looking to replace mine on my Shelton Lathe? Thank You, Gerry from PA
Probably McMaster Carr. They are still available from the better industrial supply houses.
Nice! Where did you find a new belt at by chance?
Probably McMaster Carr. Grainger and Zoro may also carry them.
Good one Justin, the belting we deserved!
