I am not sure about the accuracy. Grizzly told me to measure the belts to make sure that a 5' piece would be long enough for both belts. I really did not want to remove them until I was ready to replace although it is really an option. I didn't want to remove them because of difficulty raising my arms. Some days I can and others I need help combing my hair. The reason that I want to replace is to eliminate vibration. I want to drill some very fine holes and there is too much quill travel due to vibration. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dan Rossi To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2008 10:34 AM Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] drill press belts
Lenny, How accurate do you need to be with measuring these belts? You are just trying to see if the one, long, adjustable belt is long enough to cover for the two current belts. Can't you just stretch the belts out as much as possible, with as small a radius at the two ends, measure the length, and double it plus a hair more? Won't that get you close enough? Or do you really need eighth inch accuracy? -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University. E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: (412) 268-9081 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
