Thanks Mark - that may be worth a punt and see if works

Hi Mark, Thanks for helping. widest part is 4mm (ribbed part) the v length is 3mm each side that part is solid rubber - the length of the belt is 450mm. its for a small cast iron bench lathe - tried doing pics - but couldn't upload/sort. I have emailed a lathe belt supplier - hoping they may...

Thanks Phil, tried 2 local to me and both said it is way too small for them to stock/get. the belt is 450mm long (total length cut and laid out in length) and 4mm at the base of the triangular section. would it matter if I got a round belt or does it need to be the triangle again? sorry for...

Hi All, been a long while since I have been on the lathe - and thought I would have a play today. unfortunately the belt on my lathe has disintegrated - and fallen apart - does anyone know where I can order a replacement? the lathe is a Crafts supplies (guess the rebadged them) MVS1000. it is...

Hi there all, well after a long exodus I have popped back here to ask advice. So after a few house moves and a pending one again - I am thinking of selling my lathe and sticking with just my little pen one (not used the big boy for a while and wont really fit into my new life/house). so if...

Cheers for the info George, much appreciated

Hi George, fantastic work, I have a few of these blanks I got ages ago from beartoothwoods but have not had a decent kit to use them on until today. Would it be possible to let me know your routine on these especially your finishing Method which is stunning I hate to waste nice blanks cheers...

Hey Danny, thanks for the prompt on ebay I will have a look. John - thanks for the kind offer, it is something i will do in the future, but at present I got no hope of making the times, I work central London and since being knocked off my motorbike I am on train until the insurance pays up...

Wow, great response over night, you guys not sleep well? Lots to Digest. some replies to the thoughts so far. Clubs - no have never made it along to any clubs, to be fair I looked and couldn't work out how the club set up works (none of the clubs websites really outline what happens) do they...

Good evening all, I have been a member for a good while, but been a lurker for my duration so far. I have been turning for a relatively short period on a little mini lathe producing mostly pens and whistles to date (no chucks etc just a mandrel). So on to my question, which "big" lathe...
