Belt Sizes...

You can hide behind mine. :cool:
 
I've had a link-belt on my Table Saw for years now. Helped out with the vibration when I first installed it.
Haven't had any issues with it at all and it is smooth.
 
"L" series belts are measured around the outside of the belt. So a 4L500 would be a 1/2" wide x 50" belt measured around the outside.

Letter series belts are measured on the inside, for A series subtract 2" to get the size. So an A48 would be 1/2" wide and 50" measured on the outside. (So an A48 is the same size as a 4L500).

A flexible tape measure like those used for sewing are handy. You can get them at any craft, fabric or department store for about $3.

Since you have a "V to Flat" on the Logan you will need to add about 5/8" to the diameter of your flat pulley to use the calculator below:

I had my hopes up today to get my bench together, I got very close but it just didn't go my way. I am at the moment relying on a really good friend for spot in his shop. Man does he have some stuff! I couldn't get 30" x 60" that would be suitable for me and him. This was to be a temporary location until I get a permanent bench built in my small shop. I knew I was asking a lot, but it looks as though I might be waiting a little longer. Oh well, it doesn't pay to rush some things.
 
Last weekend I spent some time arranging a small spot that would accommodate my bench. Got the top on the legs and shoved into place. Today I had a couple of hours free so I recruited some help to set my lathe up on it. I plan on getting it all bolted down this weekend then I will take a few more measurements.
