Coronet Major

[texfit]

Hi,

I'm a newcomer to the site, busy restoring a Coronet Major complete with saw table, planer, morticing rig and a few other bits and bobs. The m/c requires a new belt for the spindle drive, three step pulleys, and a new belt for the planer. Can anyone tell me what size they are, ie. section and length, I can purchase locally from a good power transmission shop..

Regards, texfit..

Two websites for you to peruse if you haven't already found them,
Lathes & co
- http://www.lathes.co.uk/coronet/
Boleyn Workshop

Don't think either have the specific info that you require. There are a number of Major owners that use this forum. Hopefully one will reply with the measurments.

If you want a copy of the manual for a Major, PM me your email address.

Assuming you have V belt pulleys, and not a late model with poly-V, I would suggest you would be better off using segmented (Brammer) belting - no need to dismantle the headstock to fit it, and no worries about ordering precicely the right length.
