nett Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Oh, that reduction gearbox looks real smart. It is going to become indispensable as soon as you build the rest of the whatchamacallit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brucegodlesky Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 belt lacer. Needs a little tender loving care, set of handles and a centerwire. 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.

civilwarblacksmith Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civilwarblacksmith Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I need to get a belt lacer to redo the leather belts on my forge blowers. Both demo forges run off of belts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Hammer Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
