As my original belt came with the kit, from LMS. But, you have reminded me. I need a spare 2L140, for my machine. http://madmodder.net/index.php/topic,7643.msg82337.html#msg82337 David D |

Hi Peter, Glad you got it sorted out OK. You should be able to buy replacement belts here in the UK. I needed one for my Forbco drill. The local car spares shop had the exact same belt. Cost me £3.89. RS components do a range. |

Hi Peter Pleased for you that the belt drive is a success and quiet running now prevails. Modifying an X2 mill to your own preferences is very satisfying part of ownership. Lots of clever and innovative posts on this forum that I follow with interest as the owner of a very much modified X2 Mill. The "Z" Axis fine feed Has several problems than can be improved on. The dog clutch to engage the worm drive play is excessive and a difficult one to remedy only by fabricating a new one. The worm to the wormwheel has significant backlash again a problem to fix. The shaft from the adjustment knob with a floppy coupling to the worm shaft can be eliminated and a solid shaft fabricated and fitted. Make a new housing to support the shaft end behind the adjustment knob with a ball bearing to take the end thrust of the worm and not rely on the the gear box housing. Have lots of enjoyment from your mill Stuck a photo on hope it can explain better than my attempt as a scribe Eric |

thank you for the response on the belts & I will take a close look at your mods Eric, I have made a few adjustments, I also found that the rack on the upright was loose, something I hadn't noticed. Tightening this made quite a differance! but still a lot of play in the spots you said. Peter |

Peter can you post up the belt number please? |
