Found a new source for flat belt material

[Markkjohnson]

Recently my belt needed replacing on my 9 inch sb. I have salvaged several treadmills for their motors and controllers. Kept the conveyor belts because they just seemed to good to throw out. At any rate, I cut a 1 1/8 inch strip and used it to make a belt. I laced the ends together with heavy nylon string. I put the rubberized side down. So far it is working good. Have to see how it holds up. The price was right.

I am now using a bailer belt spliced with the metal lace hooks. Now I can take a .030 cut with out any slipping. Now I only need the low speed to do any matching. Tandy leather makes a cutter that adjusts from ⅛ to 1 ½ inches in ⅛ steps, about $30.00
