Al Bino Belt For The SBL13
« on: December 19, 2018, 06:00:25 PM »
I got tired listening the clicking noise from the linked leather belt, I ordered a belt from Al Bino to replace that old stretched out leather that could very well be the original.

To ensure that the belt ends stay aligned while the glue is curing, I fab clamp system from some previously used aluminum pieces. The recess is just about halfway down the thickness of the belt and the width is just about perfect that the belt does not wiggle side to side.

Here are some pictures

Thank you, Ken.

Next up before the VFD is replacing the star clutch knob with a lever type. Got a complete assembly coming in the mail within the next couple of days

When you get the lever type installed, go easy on engaging the cone clutch. If you yank it in gear, might not get it to release!

Be nice to rebuild the cone clutch into one that uses clutch plates as on my Sheldon lathe has.

The ones I've seen posted on various forums were green as well.

Removed the clamp and tested the belt at max speed, about 960 RPMs. I don't hear any clicking sound.

Watch "Testing The Al Bino Belt" on YouTube

And to cap the day, I thought I would run another taper test on the aluminum stock, 0.005 DOC. The 62 year old gal can still do it.
