Hi all,
I have recently aquired a 1950's vintage 9" model A with the standard 3-step flat pulley headstock. Unfortunately, in the process of removing the lathe (and a TON of other woodworking and metalworking equipment) as quickly as possible from the dark, wet and cold basement of a long abandoned house, I had to cut the flat drive belt. At the time I never thought to keep the old belt as a sample for locating a new belt. I have never needed to buy flat belt like this before.
SO, what I need to know is what size belt do I need for this machine? How are these belts measured (aside from length)?
Thanks for any assistance you might be able to provide!
Peter.
