For the Myford ML8 lathe the new, improved metal-pin T-link belting is ideal. It's a sectional belt so no dismantling is needed to fit it. For lathes on the maker's stand 1.2 metres is the length needed. If mounted on a home-made bench with a thick wooden top, 1.3 metres is usually sufficient. The width required is 1/2" (13 mm) = an "A" section.
Myford ML7 Lathe Drive Belts
1) Motor to countershaft belt (about 10mm wide). The best belt for this is the NuT-Link Type with metal pins. Link belts help to reduce the vibration usually passed from a single-phase motor to the lathe

3) Select your required belt - but, if you would like both, they need to be ordered individually, i.e. complete one payment, then go back to this page and make the other.

For the more common Kennedy "Hexacut" Model 60 hacksaw the flat belt is normally 1" (25 mm) wide and 21.8" long (554 mm) - however, because the size may have changed over the years, it would be safer to measure yours to get an exact figure. As the belts are custom-made, if you order the wrong length a refund is not possible.
An accurate measurement can be taken around the pulleys with a strip of paper stretched around, overlapped, marked, and then carefully measured.
