Model Forum / General / Models / February 2009Drive Belt for Microlux Drill
Hi, Does anybody here know the specification for the drive belt on the Microlux Drill Press? My belt exploded and Micro Mark wants $8.50 for a new one (reasonable), but they also want $8.95 to ship it to me (very unreasonable). This belt could be put in an envelope and shipped first class for less than fifty cents! Call me cheap but I think they're nuts. I'm sure I can find something close elsewhere. Anybody got clues? --Max >Hi, >Does anybody here know the specification for the drive belt on the [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > >--Max check ebay for tape recorder belts the same dimensions. or elec supply places. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Max Krippler" <maxkrippler@gmail.com> Newsgroups: rec.models.scale Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2009 9:46 PM Subject: Drive Belt for Microlux Drill > Hi, > Does anybody here know the specification for the drive belt on the [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > --Max Max, I've got no idea what your belt is like, but I have a box full of rubber dive belts from my previous career as a stereo repair guy. If your belt isn't fiber re-inforced, I might have one in your size. Loop a string around the pulleys that your belt used to ride on to get the length. Find a piece of the old belt to get the width and thickness.

Sorry E I've only got rubber belts left, no fabric types. >>>----- Original Message ----- >>>From: "Max Krippler" <maxkrippler@gmail.com> [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] >Sorry E >I've only got rubber belts left, no fabric types. i need rubber, too. do i just measure and tell you? or would sending the old belt be easier? >>>>Loop a string around the pulleys that your belt used to ride on to get >>>>the [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > i need rubber, too. do i just measure and tell you? > or would sending the old belt be easier? You can measure. The length is what the belt would measure if cut and laid in a straight line. If they are stretched, then a little art is required on my part. >>>>>Loop a string around the pulleys that your belt used to ride on to get >>>>>the [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >in a straight line. >If they are stretched, then a little art is required on my part. sounds good. do you have any of those wire belts? they work well on tension drives too. >>>>>>Loop a string around the pulleys that your belt used to ride on to get >>>>>>the [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > tension > drives too. Not familiar with wire belts????? >>>>>>>Loop a string around the pulleys that your belt used to ride on to get >>>>>>>the [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] >> drives too. >Not familiar with wire belts????? they are cool. they are the same diameter as their counterpart rubber or plastic but are like tiny coils of springs. so intead of wearing out like fabric or rubber, they last a very long time. i may be calling them the wrong name. |
