Flat Belt Fabricating and Splicing - Synthetic Belts

Please be aware that this Fixol glue is specific to belts with a nylon core. There are several hundred (maybe more) belts that use this core but there are also just as many that use Polyurethane.

I think you've hit your target: affordable belt splicing for the hobby machine shop. I'm impressed. My old Sheldon lathe uses a flat belt and I bought one made of leather and a clever metal clip to join the ends. It wasn't very expensive and it wasn't hard to do. I think you mentioned this system briefly towards the start of the video. My leather drive belt has been going for several years now (light use, I must admit) and shows no real sign of wear. But, if I do ever need to splice a nylon belt, I'll be sure to watch this video again.

[@WinkysWorkshop]

Leather belts work great, just not as long as the nylon core belts.

[@mesomachines]

I like the taper grinder, and doing the top and bottom at the same time is an excellent idea because they will always match.

[@WinkysWorkshop]

Thanks Reid. Yeah, the motorized grinder was needed for making a LOT of belts. It's made several thousand.

This is a very interesting video, thank you Sir Winky. I remember in the olde days working in shops that still had the line pully systems. The Millrights would replace the belts and I often wondered how they joined them. Of cause, they said it was magic. 60 years on I now have doubts that magic is real 😊.

[@WinkysWorkshop]

Back then they laced them together with leather.

Hopefully... this belt is high priced but I do have a significant amount I got fairly cheap.

[@thisolesignguy2733]

This was awesome, I haven't messed with belts in quite awhile. Years ago, I got a summer job working in a print shop with my Uncle Richard and we used belt driven presses and conveyer belts for printing flyers. It was my responsibility to inspect, measure, and replace these. A fun job :) they came pre-spliced to size so I never had to splice them. I asked my uncle why they didn't just get a metal clip splicer, and he took me to an old conveyer room and had me work there during my shift...after a 12 hr shift of constantly hearing "click click click", I completely understood why lol. It was a good lesson

[@WinkysWorkshop]

Thanks! Yeah... glue on lasts a lot longer too. The clip on are a quick fix.

[@davidparker8920]

Mark. I have been watching your videos for a good bit now, and I must say I appreciate your presentation style. You are straightforward and to the point. That, in my humble opinion, is how it should be. Please keep up the good work.

[@WinkysWorkshop]

Thanks David!

[@aceroadholder2185]

Clever stuff. The one place you often have need for a special flat belt in your shop is for a lathe tool post grinder and their high spindle speeds. Commercial tool post grinders are expensive but a small one for the home shop isn't too hard to build. The hardest part is making the belt or paying for a special. Popular Mechanics from the 30s and 40s have a number of plans for tool post grinders.

[@WinkysWorkshop]

Yes that would be a great application. I forgot to mention that they do well with high speeds too.

[@fullmetalpenguin]

Thanks for this much-anticipated video. As an aside, this is the first time I’ve seen a belt grinder used for…grinding belts. 😅

[@pixelpatter01]

This was a great video; thank you. I have a Logan lathe, as you do, and was thinking about replacing the leather belt with a piece of an automotive serpentine belt. The details of how to skive the belt and glue it had not quite crystalized in my mind yet. I'll be replaying the video and making that rotary skive grinder and aligning jig. I had purchased a glue called 3M Scotch-Weld Plastic & Rubber Instant Adhesive to use because it would glue car tire rubber and ATV tire rubber together.

[@WinkysWorkshop]

Thanks! I'll be doing a second video next week that covers the grinding a little better.

[@Farm_fab]

I've had clients that were in the printing business, and I've run stitchers, I've collated, I've run the counter for packets, I've also run the folder. I met some really nice people there. A man from my church retired from printing, and it was interesting that he knew people that I knew. He started out with movable type, and worked in many aspects of the industry, including electrical repairs of equipment. As companies went to offset, he changed with the businesses. As companies came and went, he had to do the same.

[@WinkysWorkshop]

I worked in offset. It was an interesting career.

[@WinkysWorkshop]

Please be aware this of for a specific belt type. This is a common type of belt but there are many that do not use this glue. Thanks!

[@watcherwatchmen7785]

Mcmaster Carr sells "alligator lacing" for joining these belts. Local farmers around here use this system for their hay balers because it's easier to do a repair in the field. This might be an inexpensive option for someone not wanting to glue and join the pieces as shown. That glue is 42.00 a bottle now! Thanks for the video!

[@WinkysWorkshop]

Yeah, I don't like the clips but you are correct, the glue is high. However, depending on the belt length, you can usually install a glued belt for less than $60. I now sell a small amount of glue in for $5 buck. The clips don't last very long but they are convenient

[@Farm_fab]

Years ago, Mark, I worked at a place that made kevlar "timing" belts. They were used in all types of equipment including computer printing equipment. Granted, they are very expensive. They were very particular to use up all the thread on the bobbins as that isn't cheap thread.

[@WinkysWorkshop]

Hi Mark, that's quite an interesting and informative process in making flat belts. Thanks for showing us how it's done. Just looked up the specs on our SB's and they use 1-1/2" width.

[@RAYAR54]

@@WinkysWorkshop Mine has a 1/3 HP with a 6-rib automotive serpentine belt. Can't remember the width, I think about 1-1/8" +/-. I have to run it with the back of the belt (smooth side) to the pulleys, otherwise, it doesn't track properly.

[@WinkysWorkshop]

@@RAYAR54 That's strange about the tracking. Maybe the ribs are worn uneven. I had one of those on my South Bend for a while and it slipped a lot. It was only one inch wide but I really thought it would grip better than most and it did not. My current belt is 1.25" and does fairly well.

I used a similar method to make small timing belts for a homemade cnc machine. Inside the timing belts there are fibers - you sand each end down to the fibers and then glue it together. I was using an "ultra-flexible super glue" which worked OK. They would eventually fail, but I think it was because the glue would just get harder and harder. If I ever need to do it again (I've since moved to direct connection of the motors to the screws) I'll try using a glue like this and see how it does.

[@WinkysWorkshop]

I suspect this glue would not work unless the timing belts are made of nylon. It's also activated with heat. At work people used super glue to glue belts. It was quick and easy and worked well for about 2 to 4 hours. Stacking machines have (for printing) are very demanding. I remember the super glue actually made the nylon get hot and smoke!

[@Bob_Adkins]

I've seen people use super glue on small, stretchy round belts and even large O-rings gluing them end-to-end. It was amazing that it worked at all, but I don't know how durable they are.

[@WinkysWorkshop]

@@Bob_Adkins Super glue is amazing stuff but at least on this type belt (nylon Polyamide) it makes the nylon brittle. Not sure about o-rings but they make a round Polyurethane belt that melts together. The belt itself is fairly strong and the joint is the same as the belt. You can get it on amazon in several sizes. Its called Poly Round or Polycord.

Hi Winky, not what I expected. I was used to leather belts that you had to have a special tool to crimp into the leather steel staples at each end and join it together with a piece of catgut rod. Oh well that was 50 Years ago, that's modern technology for you. Seeing as you have now all the belts and tools, how about offering a belt make up service ? They send you the length, you make it up and post it back to them. Whatever machine they have they will need to remove the spindle or countershaft to fit it, but that will be their problem. If only made up belts are available commercially they would need to strip the machine anyway. Regards from Australia.

[@WinkysWorkshop]

Hello Dave, this is my plan but the current challenge is how to do this via my web store. I suspect I'll need to create a price sheet and handle each order individually. Originally I planned on buying new belt but it's ridiculously high priced ($11.25 per foot). I bought a 100 meter roll and there is another roll available (NOS) but after that I'll have to stop selling belts. I've realized there was a market for these belts for a long time but the need for a $750+ heater was an obstacle. Now the full price on this belt material is also a problem. Six years ago this belt was less than have the price.

This is a very informative video! Thank you for sharing. Question: I'm interested in installing such a belt on my South Bend 9A lathe to replace the poly-V belt running on the original 3-speed, crowned flat belt pulley cone. The previous owner installed it and it slips and doesn't center. In short, it's AWFUL!! Any way, I've been told that the original leather belt for this lathe was 3/4" wide. Do you offer 3/4" material? Would you suggest your 1" material for a 3/4 hp motor? Is the purpose of the heater to melt the nylon or does it help in curing the glue? Cheers, F.C.

[@WinkysWorkshop]

The heat actives the glue and there is some kind of chemical reaction with the nylon. The belt width needs to be slightly more narrow than the flat area on the pulley. A flat area of 1.25 would be a 1" wide belt. I think the SB 9 is 1". This video has info on how to get the belt (in the description) and yes, I can make any width you need. If you can get the belt on without needing to splice your cost will be cheaper but you can do it either way. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHuXeXuVa7J9mas

[@apollorobb]

Polyamide is not a type of Nylon The key difference between nylon and polyamide is that nylon is a synthetic material, whereas polyamides can be either natural or synthetic. Moreover, nylon has great resistance against moisture and rain while polyamide has less resistance, and is slightly hydrophobic. Just an FYI

[@nicholashacking381]

Please don't think that I'm attacking you (I'm not) or your expertise (again, I respect your superior knowledge) but I take issue with the distinction between "natural" and "synthetic". I simply don't think that it's helpful or meaningful. "Natural" means that we've observed it in something that isn't man-made. "Synthetic" implies that whatever it is has only ever been seen as the result of human activity. But it's all chemistry. Whether "natural" reactions or those performed by humans, it's the same chemistry. What really annoys me (and I'm *not* accusing you of this) is when folk assume that "natural" is "good" and "synthetic" is "bad". Some of the most toxic compounds known occur "in nature" many of the most beneficial substances that we have are "synthetic" (the covid-19 vaccines being barn-door examples). Finally, what is man but a product of nature? Isn't everything that we do "natural". The stuff that we make may not always be "good" but that doesn't mean that is "unnatural". Thanks.

Googled: The name "nylons" refers to the group of plastics known as 'polyamides'. Nylons are typified by amide groups (CONH) and encompass a range of material types (e.g. Nylon 6,6; Nylon 6,12; Nylon 4,6; Nylon 6; Nylon 12 etc.), providing an extremely broad range of available properties.

[@stevemurnane1892]

Mark. With the plans for the grinder, is there an angular offset between parts "A" and "B"? Somewhere between 1 and 6 degrees maybe? Thanks.

[@WinkysWorkshop]

Yes, its a slight angle and you have to adjust it to get the correct skive (grind) length. Every belt has it's own specification but it's really not super critical. Most belts are around 3/4 to 1 inch long although some thicker belts are longer. Next week I will post the video making the grinder and clarify a few thing. Judging by some of the comments I didn't do so well when talking about belt types. There are 3 types of belts. One type uses a finger joint. You put the belts in a guide that contains the belt and the belt material melts together (no glue). This is a good belt but usually has more issues with tracking. There are also a few belts that do not glue (use a clip) or use a different type of glue. My point is, this type of belt is very common but there are hundreds of belt types out there but only some use this glue.

[@bobloblaw7879]

great video, thanks. I am confused on exactly what parts/colours are the nylon and rubber at 19:05. with the cross section that the skiving creates, what colour band is what? thanks

[@WinkysWorkshop]

There are many belts out there and they vary in construction a lot This belt is made of Polyamide (nylon) and rubber. One surface has a green rubber coating and the other side does not. What makes it confusing is that the side without the rubber is also green. Its easy to identify because the nylon is slick and the rubber is not. The primary reason this is important is that the glue will not stick to rubber. If you overlap the ends too far the you will have a loose end where the glue didn't stick.

Can't you just vulcanize the rubbers?

[@WinkysWorkshop]

Only about .015" of the surface is rubber, the rest of the belt is polyamide (a type of nylon. The glue (fixol) plus heat bonds the polyamide layer. The rubber has almost no strength. Some belts have a thicker rubber layer that can be bonded with Vulcol glue and heat but most often people trim the end of the belt and forgo the Vulcol. It leaves a little groove where the rubber is missing but the strength is unaffected.

I love it! Creative and criticle thinking , Problem solving skills at its best. This is what is needed to survive in this world. The school system is destroying this in our children. Making them obediant and to think for themselves
