High-Performance Urethane Round Belting, 5/16 inch Diameter, 10 ft Length, Orange

Decide how long you want the cut to be. When using a large iron, heat both ends simultaneously then press the ends together for a few minutes, or have it placed under water while cooling to speed up the process (to gain more time). After waiting about 5 minutes, test the strength of the join by pulling both sides. Get rid of the excess bulge of the weld joint, so that it runs smoothly through the pulley. During the last 9 months, I have been successfully operating a bank style cash counting machine.

If I were you, I would try a 3/8" diameter. If the belt is in the groove, it will compress a little. Their could be slippage if the belt bottoms out in the groove.
