The advice I got about a drive belt for the CC engineering tool and cutter grinder I am restoring was to stay with a flat belt.
I thought it would be nice to try and keep things as original as possible, so Ive stayed with the flat belt. That included finding a motor with a 19mm dia drive shaft.
The pulley is 1.125" wide and crowned and the belt circumference needs to be about 720mm. The pulleys are 70mm dia.
The problem is that now I'm in a position to look for a belt, I'm having trouble finding anything to work.
I found a belt at " SuperCheap Auto" which is 20mm wide and best price $35, but other than that I have spent several hours searching for a flat 'rubber' belt. (floor polishers washing machines, industrial mowers etc etc) with no success. I could get something made for about $80---yeah right!!
I don't want to spent much on this, and in my 'dreams' I was hoping to pick up a half worn belt from 'somewhere'. Any ideas where I could look?
I guess the first step is to find 'something' that uses a suitable belt then track down a local mechanic.
I would appreciate any suggestions please
regards Brian
