Line shaft and leather belts

Powder Keg:
This, to me is a fascinating thing. They are amazing and mesmerizing to watch run. I decided to start a topic where links and experience could be shared. I am to the point where I need to find some leather belt for a couple of projects that I have going. First a couple of videos that I like.





Here are a few links that I've found.

Restoring leather belting

Splicing


There are many ways that a belt can be spliced. They can be lapped and glued, They can be laced with leather, There are several styles of metal clips that are pressed into the leather that allow the belt to be removed. I'll post some links on that next.

Later, Wes

Th plainer was a real eye crosser, the drive belts seemed to move over at the end of the stroke, can't get my head round why  :scratch:

So the table would change direction Stew. You don't want the table ending up on the floor do ya?

Davo J:

Powder Keg:
Here is another link. Leather belts It seems that there is a debate between guys using man made belts as apposed to leather. I'd like to focus on leather and getting them to run good/right.

There are some good pictures Here
