It is for lacing leather and fabric belts for flat belt applications. Hit'n'miss engines, antique tractors, shop machinery, trip hammers, etc.
It gives an even squeeze to the alligator clips.

Neat! Father had one to repair or make up flat belts for some of his shop machinery. It only got used it every few years but was pretty indespensible when he needed it.

He let me pull the handles down after I got large enough to do it right. Even pressure on both sides and hard enough to compress the flat belt master link thingies properly.

Indispensible is the key word Frosty!

I usually have CNC punch machine dies follow me on occasions. The become too short from repeated sharpening. I get them and take them to iron-n-the hat for use as fly press tooling or for use in hydraulic presses for punches.

I need to get a belt lacer to redo the leather belts on my forge blowers. Both demo forges run off of belts.

civilwarblacksmith.... Lacers sometimes show up at farm auctions... It's been a while since I seen one in an auction though. They were going for around 40 bucks. The lacing can be bought at Tractor Supply Co (TSC).

CWB, there is a company that makes a "leather looking" synthetic belt. Jim Carothers, member here and Pres. of Saltfork Craftsmen & Artist Blacksmith Assoc. told me about it last year....I can't remember the name of the company tho...old age thing.... You can contact him through the above web site tho to find out. The stuff is supposed to look like leather but holds up better, doesn't crack etc like real leather. IIRC. anyway good luck.

It hasn't got a thing to do with smithing but she sure is sweet. Some idiot gave me a 18 month old Basset hound female. They thought she bayed a bit much for the townhouse but compared to my other dogs she's very quiet.
