Greetings all;
I have been snooping around with my google-fu, and coming up a bit long.
Long as in the smallest of tese belts with a kevlar backing, is a 3/8"
wide 3 ribber, 21" long. That is too long for what I am trying to do.
What I have, under design but not carved just yet, would be a set of
pulley's to be used on my toy mill when I remove the whole gearbox on
the spindle and replace it with something resembling the LMS is selling
for the mini-mill. But the motor will be the 400 watter I took off the
lathe when I pout the 1 horse on it, so the motors pulley will need an
8mm hub, probably another shop made taperlock, while the spindle pulley
will need a 30mm hub, possibly taperlock if I can find room for it. The
two pulleys will be otherwise alike, with a 2/1 ratio when the belt is
in the reduction grooves, and a 1/2 when its in the higher speed
grooves, gfiving a variable speed range of up to 2500 in low range, and
up to 10k in high range from a 5k motor. That ought to speed up making
pcb's a bit.
Unforch, on the gates site, no real data unless I kill a tree with their
pdf catalog. Other sites, which obviously stock only the popular sizes
for automotive useage, do not show anything in the 3 rib 3/8" width,
shorter that 21". That would put the motor a couple inches farther off
to the side than I'd like.
Has anyone else found such smallish beasts and can give me a URL?
Cheers, Gene Heskett
