As far as that site is concerned, I linked to their metals section and it describes cold roll steel, hot roll steel, aluminum, etc. and all various thicknesses. Clearly aluminum would be lighter weight, yes. Let us know what you dream up!

 

Also, I just sized some urethane round belting for the new motor since I had to find the exact size of a new belt to get it to fit, I figured I’d check this stuff out. There are videos explaining how to melt the urethane to make a belt, in case you’re interested. This is .5” solid. It grips the new 45mm small motor pulley really well.  9AC459F9-F51A-459D-8EA1-4C50530414D6.jpeg.9e0d8fa911f9de59fe8c12af5e8770df.jpeg

Oh Crap It just dawned on me ....LOL . I might be able to take your ( Urethane Belt bonding )  idea and use for making a New rubber tire ( big fat O-ring ) on the inboard bobbin thread winder, On my old Bernina 217N .
You cant get those bobbin big o-rings anymore, and I been looking and X-referencing other O-Rings for a long time and it been a NoGo for finding a match .
All I need to do is find the right round Diam. and start giving it a try .
.....thanks MUCH

You bet, Nylon R! That’s a cool idea.

i did order two different diameters and after having liked the feel and finish of the .5” thickness, it is a bit stiff. I’m going to make some out of .4” and see if I have better results.

I got regular 3L orange belting, it's proper size for sewing machines

What's the fella sewing-- a pool cue case for Paul Bunyon?

Solar Leather Machines just sold one of these to a concrete manufacturer in Mexico.  They use it for making the huge rubberized chutes that transport the gravel into various bins.    We'll be putting it up on the website in a day or so.

LuxuryLuke,

How's that orange belt working out?   May I ask where you bought it?

I'm currently using some Accu-Link adjustable V belt on a Juki flat bed.  It seems to grip just fine but it's a little noisy.  (squeaky)

I bought it online and got ten feet of 10mm and 10 feet of .5" (which is a bit larger at around 13mm) and I'd recommend the 10mm, since it sits inside the pulley slot better. Prices are all over the place but you'll likely find it around $6/meter… ish.

Search "urethane belt" and look for the 10mm diameter. There are all sorts of colors and styles.

Hope that helps, Johnny!
