Not AT or HTD or anything else The T profile is symmetrical and trapezoidal. I think it was designed by the Bell-Everman company Or Mike Everman rather. Here's a concept picture Mike drew in 2008, although it seems nothing came of it. https://ibb.co/PQ3J6Ms So the current idea is to use two long belts that mesh into each other. Here Mike is proposing to use one long bonded belt, then another small looped belt. So the looped belt engages in two places, opposite the central drive pulley. A bit like a Caterpillar's tracks, running on a track But I think the extra complexity to save on some belt is not worth it. Does anyone know what glue is used to bond the belt? You don't want it to work loose in high usage areas.. _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
