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.
This belt (unlike cheaper alternatives cut from conveyor belts and cheap copies made in India) is UK-made, enormously strong, densely woven and specially designed for machine-tool use.
Polycord Belting - immediate delivery from stock. This makes an excellent, long-life application for hard-worked machines - from models though engravers to small lathes and millers, etc. Our solid plastic belting is made in Switzerland and of the very best quality. We can produce belts of practically any length down to 140 mm long using a jigged joint and heat weld. Although all belts stretch, Polycord is more resistant than most, especially when 6mm in diameter or over.
This makes an excellent, long-life application for hard-working machines. Our plastic belting is of the very best quality and is made in Switzerland. Hollow belts are easy to fit without dismantling the machine or having to melt the ends of the belt together. However, if you need a belt with minimum stretch, the solid type, available here, is the better choice.
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.
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.
We offer a number of endless belts for common machine tools, and can also supply numerous other belts not listed here. Contact us to place an order.
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.
Round drive belt for the small but popular Naerok, NuTools, Warco, Seeley and Multico branded bandsaws. This is the very best quality, Swiss-made Polycord.
We have determined that the Naerok and NuTools versions had a belt made from 7 mm diameter material in the following lengths: 650, 660, 670 and 680 mm. However, it's important to check the length you need carefully and tick the right box.
Please take care to measure the belt and select the appropriate length below.

Toothed drive belt for Emco V10 and V10 Mentor lathe. The belt should be 19 to 20 mm (3/4") wide and possibly marked 200XL x 75, iIf so, this belt is correct. However, some late versions of the V10 appear to have been fitted with the 25 mm wide (1") belt from the V10P. If your belt is missing, just measure the width of the toothed pulley. If the pulley is 25 mm (1") wide you'll need the V10P belt that can be ordered here: https://store.lathes.co.uk/parts/drive-belt-emco-v10p-lathe

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. Please put the length details in the order comments box.

Motor to countershaft and countershaft to headstock belts of the NuT-Link Type in a Z-Section. Link belts help to reduce the vibration normally passed from a single-phase motor to the lathe - and was a fitting often used by Myford Service engineers to "quieten" a noisy machine. On the Super 7 and ML7R, the T-link belt is highly effective on the drive from motor to countershaft.
PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY: The only PowerTwist belt needed on the Super 7 and ML7R is an "A" section from the countershaft to the headstock. The use of this belt guarantees that the lowest speed will be available as, when fitted with the metal-pin NuT-link there may not be enough room between the inner face of the headstock and the largest pulley on the main spindle.
Emcomat 7, 7L, 8.4, 8.6 and V8 lathes: drive belt, toothed type 1-inch (25mm) wide. Unfortunately, this belt is now out of production - but the 3/4" (20mm) belt for the earlier version of this lathe fits and works just as well - but clearly, if the lathe is hard used, will not last as long.
