|  Lathe armature belts?
I just picked up a motor lathe, but I need to get a new belt to go around the armature. I am having trouble finding any place that sells them. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I've never seen an actual belt... all the lathes i've used in the past 20 some years use nothing more than a rubber O-ring to connect the pully to arm... ANY hardware store sould have several sizes that will work  you want the O-ring tight enough to hold the arm in the V-blocks BUT not so tight it's hard to spin the arm by hand... bout 1/8 thick will be fine.John |

Any decent Ace Hardware will have them in all sizes.....you want it to be FIRM, but not too snug.....also, make sure its a thin type not a big thick one. Harbor Freight also sells a big O-Ring kit for like $10.....probably will find one in there. Later EddieO |
