Questions & Answers

Can you tell me the durometer of the ?

It works very well. My method of joining both ends is to use a hot putty knife. So far I have not experienced a failure. A highly recommended book

Can you make a belt according to your size needs if it's connected?

Prepare a piece of belting that is approximately 3/8" longer than the finished belt. Melt both ends at the same time. Once sufficiently melted, press ends together while retaining the connection for 30 minutes at least. If you move the joint even the slightest bit, the urethane will crystallize and the joint will Then, using a torch to simulate a hot knife, I clamped both ends to a piece of steel and inserted the ends into the hot metal for a few seconds, removed the sharpened metal and pressed the ends together as soon as possible. The clamps must be rigid and not allow any movement in the joint at all. A small wooden board was clamped with two thin wooden clamps, so the belting was laid in a V groove so the ends would all In order to help heat the belt ends, I lightly screwed the adjusting screws on the wood clamps into the V groove for the belt ends so they could slide into the hot knife. For 30 minutes, I did not move the device after pushing the hot knife together and touching the ends together. After trimming the excess urethane around the joints, I applied a thin coat of black finish. Despite the fact that it worked very well, I did practice on a piece since it has to be done in a hurry.

Selected User Reviews For High-Performance Urethane Round Belting, 1/4 inch Diameter, 10 ft Length, Orange

I was surprised at how strong and easy the process was

5/5

It's been hard to find the right size for my V-neck top Despite my best efforts, I've been unable to find a belt for my small benchtop drill press (Korman brand 500W). My plans were about to be scrapped when I ran into this problem. With the help of a razor blade, a MAP torch, and pliers, I got the job done. The original version does not work well with this mod BOTH BELT SIZES. I'm satisfied with my results on my first try, but it will take some practice if you need precision.

You can really see results from this! I was a little skeptical of the whole idea of cutting and melting the belt together, but it really The seam was weak and I thought it would break, but it turned out to be quite strong and it isn't too difficult to make any size belt you require

5/5

In this case, I used it to replace a rotten belt on an old Harbor Freight wood lathe and it worked.

The situation is very positive

5/5

A treadle lathe was bought for use in the shop. The assembly was easy to do and the size I needed was easily reached. The pulleys on the lathe work well with it.

Despite the fact that this product is probably overkill for my situation, the price was right and it's easy to use

5/5

In a nutshell, A drive belt is a critical component for a Ferris wheel I am building as a Christmas display prop. This product is probably overkill for my needs, but it was an excellent price and easy to install. To melt the ends together, I used a torch. It would probably be sufficient to use a heat gun. Although I have no idea who the typical customer is for such a product, I think hobbyists and makers would find it useful.

If your hands are shaky or you need something to hold while the ends are melting, you may need something

4/5

I was able to get my husband's bandsaw to work again due to this. As his hands were not steady enough to hold the ends together, he had difficulty joining the two melted ends. A pair of V-shaped blocks was used as support, and the ends were slid together, and it worked the first time. It is possible to make a number of belts using the remaining material. I was able to fix the saw very easily for a very low cost.

A clip was added and so far everything seems to be going well

4/5

The radii of the formed belt could be used to calculate the radius. The ends of an 11" belt for a sewing machine were joined by hand with a homemade jig since I do not have a machine for this. A clip was added and so far everything seems to be going well. This might be due to the too small radius of the belt.

I find it to be very useful

5/5

The material can be used to make pulley belts. When the belts are melted together well, they are strong and reliable. It takes a few practices to get them to work, but once you do, the belts are superb.

Since I was a child, I used a similar product

5/5

Despite being reasonably priced and of good quality, the product was not overly expensive. Belting just like this I have been using in farm equipment for years was of the same high quality as the belting I bought from you. In order to provide my clients with additional durability, I'm using this product in place of hard rubber round belting. By using a propane torch, it is relatively easy to splice into belts of any size. The propane torch is better than a kit designed specifically for splicing, but I've not found it to be any better than the kit. Even though this belting does wear out over time and crack after many years, it has a very long life and is inexpensive.
