Should I change this Belt ?
What do you think of these jointed belts ? It came on my Hercus . I was using it yesterday and it was slipping a bit , there is some oil on my pulleys that got there somehow . I wiped off what I could and continued working . I tightened it up further but didn't want to go to hard because I thought I may break it at the joints . I really didn't want a break halfway through the job!
Is it the sort of thing that those with more metal turning experience would change out straight away on your Hercus ? Because the more normal later V belt is a lot better ? Will the normal one allow the lathe to be used a bit harder ? I was machining the face and edge of a 100mm diameter 5mm thick piece of Brass on a face plate that was glued to some 19mm plywood. I had the belt slipping as the job stopped a few times, until I backed of to the level that allowed constant cutting .
Edit , Forgot the pic
