Went and picked it up tonight.
I have it close to its permanent spot. I need a power feed belt and to figure out the power feed then I can back it in a little more. |

Looks good! I was looking into flat belts for the power feed on my universal grinder and was mostly coming up with Megadyne stuff unless I want to risk some no name Amazon type brand. The main drive belt for the spindle on mine is a Megadyne T150, I think, in whatever length.

I need to look in to that. My lathe is flat belt and a drill press along with this mill. This mill belt is really nice but much too narrow. It works but I don’t think it would handle a deep cut without slipping. |

An automotive serpentine belt will frequently do the job well. Shortening the serp to fit can be a little bit of a challenge, but cut it at an angle, and glue it with a backing on the non-running side, and it'll work... or put an additional idler in there to tie up more slack.

I bought a belt the right length.. No cutting.. Shortest belts are about 44 inches, but you normally need quite a bit longer than that.... Widest is about 1-3/8 ... the grooves grab well on the flat pulley..
