8mm OD

I couldn't find the two 20" narrow belts I needed for a 1950s Black & Decker valve grinding machine. I purchased both the 6 & 8 mm belts. Both work, but wish they made this in 7mm. Following the directions, these are very easy to melt together and I tugged pretty hard and couldn't pull them apart. I used a soldering gun with a round flat attachment to heat both ends of the belt at the same time. Quickly, I mated both ends in a V-block which perfectly aligned the joint. Then I used a bench grinder to grind the joint flush. We shall see how long this belt lasts. If you can't find the right size belt for your application, this is a cheap fix. I would purchase again.

Welds nice. Hold-up better than the orange belt stuff.

This review is for Beduan PU Transmission Round Belt 6mm OD High-Performance Urethane Belting Green for Conveyor Bonding Machine Dryer 16.4 Ft. The length of 6mm diameter urethane belt was delivered on-time, complete and as described by the seller. One of the two drive belts on my pool-cleaner had broken. I contacted the manufacturer who had no parts available and I was unable to find a third-party equivalent, toothed, flat belt of the same dimensions. During my online search I came across this customizable round belt at a fraction of the price of products similar to that I was seeking; I ordered it thinking that it was worth a try as a temporary solution until the manufacturer’s part becomes available. The Beduan belt arrived next day and I eagerly got to work. The surface is not smooth but is textured so, even without teeth, I figured it would provide sufficient traction under tension. It is also somewhat elastic so, with a suitable belt length, some tension can be generated. I cut a test length with scissors and used the open flame from a butane torch to melt the ends before fusing together. It took a few minutes for the urethane to harden and I found it helped to hold in place by hand over a flat surface during hardening. The excess material was removed using a fine grindstone. I was impressed with strength of my test loop and proceeded to measure/cut a length for the pool cleaner, then fused/cleaned the ends and fitted it in place. The pool cleaner has just completed a 2-hour cleaning cycle and appears to be working well with this belt. I am not sure how long this fix will last; for now I am very pleased with the result.

This works well on my drum carder.. it is easy to cut and fuse together. I like that it isn’t smooth and doesn’t slip. Not so rough to hurt the pulleys . I unhook it when I am not using it .. take a picture of it. This is a Patrick green drum carder

So far I am pleased with this product, I used it to fabricate a belt for a 70 year old metal lathe. With all the belt manufactures making it difficult to know the actual belt length. This product makes it easier to get a machine running again, also saves time and effort just installing a belt.

It’s exactly a well item

I used this a simple motor bet and it worked out really well for that. I did as the directions show and melted the ends and stuck them together, the first couple of tries it didn't hold so I changed over and used my soldier gun and touched both side to the heat at the same time then stuck them together and presto! It is a good bond and has some stretchy. I would recommend this product but cannot speak to the longevity to it.

This belt is oversized for the pulleys on my 9x20 lathe but let me tell you, I put a 6” 3 jaw chuck on the lathe and it works great! No squealing, I can do all operations including threading. Very easy to splice together, I use a heat gun and it’s strong. I have a more powerful lathe with less money than the original belt. Can’t wait to use it on a tool post grinder.

very good product thanku
