You can soup up any V type belt tool with a twist link.  They aren't supposed 
to work on the serpentine style belts or so I've been told.

Bill, that is what I did. I taped a piece of string on the outside of the 
belt.Then by turning by hand I brought it around and cut the string where it 
would mate. I measured the string for the correct length.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] power twist link belts

2009-10-19 Thread Bob Kennedy
Actually you measure the inside as that is what touches the pulleys.  There 
should be some kind of writing on the outside of the belt telling you the size 
of the belt.  It's in belt talk so it won't be real; apparent.  Unless you're 
going to order online, just take the belt along with you.  If you are ordering 
online, what I do now is take a piece of rope.  wrap the rope around the pulley 
and I put a pair of vice grips at the point where the rope overlaps the end.  
Then measure from the vice grips to the end and that will get you pretty close.

hi lenny
just bring a belt with you.
if they are the same size you only need to bring one.
then have the person there match the length of yours with the new one.
i love my belt on the table saw.
what you said is true they run so much nicer.

wondering why does your drill press need 2 belts?

Re: [BlindHandyMan] power twist link belts

2009-10-16 Thread john schwery
Lenny, if you get the table I got, you may want to make some changes 
before you use it.  The round nuts are fastened to the bottom with 
small screws and will pull out of the wood, easily.  I changed mine 
so the nuts are on top and pull against the top of the table and the 
clamps hold much better.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] power twist link belts

You can soup up any V type belt tool with a twist link.  They aren't supposed 
to work on the serpentine style belts or so I've been told.

   link belt for my drill press. Has anyone converted the drill press

   there I 
   also plan to purchase the table for the drill press. I could not

   Not sure how long I will be there it is a major (candy) store with

 just bring a belt with you.
 if they are the same size you only need to bring one.
 then have the person there match the length of yours with the new one.

 what you said is true they run so much nicer.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] power twist link belts

2009-10-16 Thread Lenny McHugh
Bill, these belts are made to replace any v-belt. They come in two sizes 
that I know about. My table saw has a 1/2 inch wide and the drill press has 
a width of 3/8. The 3/8 comes in a length of 5 feet. The 1/2 came in a 4 
foot length. I don't remember where I purchased the one for the table saw. 
It was somewhere on-line. They are a little expensive but in my opinion 
worth every penny.

2009-10-16 Thread Lenny McHugh
What I am afraid of is that when I put the links together to make the 
correct size when pulled tight they may become a little too long. and if I 
then remove a link it will be too short. That is why I want to go to the 
showroom to make sure it will work. I just might take one of the old ones 
along. With the forecast of more snow not sure if Karen will make the trip. 
With all of the leaves on the trees and some snow they are predicting downed 
power lines and trees. Could be interesting.

I'd have a look at the drillpress table from wood pecker.  It is a much nicer

Lenny, if you get the table I got, you may want to make some changes 
before you use it.  The round nuts are fastened to the bottom with 
small screws and will pull out of the wood, easily.  I changed mine 
so the nuts are on top and pull against the top of the table and the 
clamps hold much better.

Not sure how long I will be there it is a major (candy) store with over
12,000 tools on display.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] power twist link belts

Hey Lenny:

I highly recommend the link twist belts.  I have replaced the belts on my 
equipment with them.  The drill press was one of the
first.  The 2 tools I noticed the most improvement was the drill press and my 
band saw.

Just measure all your belts for length.  Add up the total feet.  Buy enough 
packages of the link twist belt material.  Construct
new belts with the proper number of links to make the same size belts.  The 
link twist belts are not cut to size.  One adds or
removes links as needed.  The links are small enough you never have to worry 
about having a belt too large or too small.  In fact,
you might have to remove a link or 2 after your belt gets worked in.

I always like going on a Grizzly pilgrimage.  I wish I could join you.  I 
remember when I got my table saw, planer and jointer.  It
was a once in a lifetime deal.  It was like mega Christmas.  There was just 
under 1 ton of stuff in a 1/2 ton truck.

Anyway, hope you get to head that way tomorrow.  Better buy that Wife a nice 
dinner or something.  :)
