Hobbymat Lathe Motor Conversion

The usual problem with Hobbymat motors is a failure of the centrifugal switch or capacitor. We sell the correct capacitor and a set of detailed dismantling instructions for £21 + post (+ VAT in the UK and EU) that allows the motor to be converted to a much better "cap-start-cap-run" configuration - full instructions provided. The conversion allows the motor to start without the need for the troublesome centrifugal switch. 

Myford ML8 Drive Belt

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
2) Countershaft to Headstock spindle belt (about 13 mm wide) For the ML7, the T-link type is too stiff and using the a "Power Twist" type is recommended. 
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.

Betalon Multiply Flat Belting

The ideal installation for any machine tool is an endless Betalon-Multiply belt: these are light in weight but immensely strong and stretch resistant. They absorb shock loads well, have a high coefficient of friction, enjoy a proven record of reliable industrial service and can be made in almost any combination of length and width.

Kennedy Hexacut Saw Belt

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. 

Alligator Belt Lacing - Genuine American-made

Alligator Belt Lacing - the Genuine American-made product not the inferior copy made in China. A length of clip is hammered in at each end of the belt and joined with two sections of the special oval pin supplied - these being designed to work back-to-back. Alternatively, a length of nylon or red-fibre rod can be used. A detailed instruction sheet is supplied with each clip. "Alligator clips" are made in various sizes but five cover most belts in common use.

Nu-T-Link V-Belt

This is the superior replacement for the original "Brammer" black-fabric "round-end" link-belting that was held together with mushroom-headed metal pins each (usually) stamped with a letter "B". The new belts have only a slight curve to the end of each link and the head of the pins are now "T" section.

Power Twist V-Belt

A new development of an old idea - a link belt without metal fasteners. This is highly effective on all lighter machine tools and especially useful on precision lathes and millers where a "softer" drive, free from vibration, is appropriate.

Boxford & South Bend Backgear Shaft

Boxford & South Bend Backgear 24-tooth Shaft. We can supply - on a service-exchange basis - a backgear shaft fitted with a new steel gear. The large gear can be knocked off to save postage (though some early shafts were one piece). Early gears have a 14.5-degree pressure angle and have no markings to show this. Later gears are 21 degrees and in this case the shaft is stamped "21" - though it's sometimes hard to see. We can supply both types.
