That would have been a little long for my grandfather. Years ago he asked me for a simple belt - 48" waist. Made the overall length 64". It just met, tip to buckle. That was the only long blank I had, so he was out of luck. That's when I learned to get real measurements for belts.

If you stitch across the bottom, the slider isn't going past that point.

Belt lengths vary depending on pulley sizes and how the machine and motor are mounted on the table. Parts lists can not account for all these variances. With a little elementary math like 5th or 6th grade and a ruler or tape measure, you can determine the required belt length. First step, before measuring, is to set the motor belt tension adjustment at half way so you have room to tighten or loosen the belt tension when installing your new belt. Measure diameter of the pulleys at the edge of the rim assuming you are buying the proper width of belt for the pulley, take half the circumference of the pulleys, write the total down. Place the ruler or other straight edge against the pulley rims and measure the distance between the contact points on the pulleys. Only need to measure 1 side since the opposite side will be the same, double that measurement and add it to the total for the half circumferences you wrote down. The total of these is the belt length (outside measure) you need.

@myjtp All your 3rd party hosted photos are no longer available. This is what happens when you move or delete photos, or cancel your account. (Some hosts have gone out of business or changed their policies too.) Please do not use 3rd party hosts for photos on this site! If you can message me with your photos and tell me which posts they belong in, I can fix this thread so it is useful to others with similar problems.

As you have found, videos take a lot of file space, more than the limits here allow. Put your videos on YouTube or other host and link to them here. Then you can post videos with adequate time and resolution. Moved your post to leather sewing machines.

@JamesR Merged your 2 posts. You can post additional post on the first post so you can maintain 1 thread. You can also edit your posts within a time window. Noticed one yesterday where the window was 6 hours. I thought it would just be a couple hours.

If your files are too large to post here due to file size restrictions, you need to resize your files to fit. Follow this link for some helps and suggestions. https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/15122-how-to-post-pictures-on-lw/?do=findComment&comment=551171 There are lots of Apps, software, and online tools available on the web, or even built into your device to enable you to reduce your file sizes. 800 pixels in the longest dimension is quite adequate. Smart phone screens and many monitors don't display high res files in high resolution. People that live on the fringes of the internet appreciate smaller file sizes and high res photos may take from 10 minutes to hours to download.

Have you read through this thread? It answers many questions.

Downloaded just fine for me. Almost instant!

Pictures may be portrait (taller than width) or landscape (wider than height). So the longest dimension depends on the photos orientation. Which ever side is longest - set it to 800 pixels.

Use YouTube and post the link here. YouTube is the most common one used here. Other 3rd party hosts may work. We prefer photos not be 3rd party hosted as they often disappear, but unfortunately, 3rd party hosting is the only choice for videos.

You need to tag a member by typing the @ symbol followed by the members name. Pick the name out of the popup box. Like this: @shoepatcher Now Glen will get a notification. When resizing photos, size the longest dimension to be 800 pixels. The last series are too small for any detail. So on your phone, pick the next higher size setting and try it. Or use a web based app that will let you pick 800 pixels.

Moved to leather tools. Help wanted requires moderator approval before members can see it. 6.3mm is 1/4" so 6.2mm is just slightly less allowing easy fit into a 1/4" hole.
