Lathe belts

<< < (4/4)

rleete:
We use strap wrenches at work.  Used to tighten large diameter (6-8") clamps.  Basically, they are a woven belt looped through a cast metal handle.  They have to have resin applied so as to not slip.  This resin may be the same as the amber mentioned above.  Available from MSC or McMaster.

Hi

It was resin John and I were on about I think the confusion arose when we said it looked like amber. Darren I may be able to lay my hands on some crocadile teeth to join your belt, I'll have a look to see what I can find.

Cheers

Hi Stew,

Are you thinking of these chappies?

This seller is a hardware shop local to me, it's the same as I used on the belta that I showed ripping apart.
I have some spare. I was reluctant to used them thinking maybe rivets wouldn't be so aggressive to the belt. The clips are quite sharp edged.

But then again I can run the new belt quite slack, so maybe it won't be a problem anymore?

sbwhart:
Yes thats them  :thumbup: don't know the proper name i just call them crocidile teath for obviouse reasons.
