Where to get the best price on flat leather lathe belts?

Ah sorry Jon, never thought about needing to splice it in order get it on the lathe. I've used them where they were just put around open pulleys.

Seems like Don has provided 4 - 5 documented suggested positions of the flat leather belt. Even the machinists handbook mentions that the hair side ahould be against the pulley.

I'd their are any Amish in your area you can usually get a leather belt from them.

That's where I get mine .8 dollars for the last one including clips crimped on
