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. 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 . Edited March 29, 2019 by nylonRigging Quote

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. Quote Handstitcher since ‘17. Newly acquired: Necchi 840-100 RB (rotative binder)

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. Quote Alexander
Members johnnyblaze Posted April 30, 2019 Members Report Posted April 30, 2019 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) John. Quote

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. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=urethane+belt Hope that helps, Johnny! Quote Handstitcher since ‘17. Newly acquired: Necchi 840-100 RB (rotative binder)
