I have an old drill press that is run off of a 2" wide flat belt. The belt is hard and glazed and slips. Anyone got any ideas what I can do with it to keep it from slipping or know where I can buy a new one.

I assume thatyou have a large floor model machine that uses a belt about eight feet in total length. I have experienced the same frustration with run off. You may be able to soften the old belt with saddle soap or Neats Foot Oil,however a new belt is probably the best solution.Mc Masters will have everything you need including steel lacing with hard rawhide joining pin or soft rawhide belt lacing.If you use soft lacing be sure you have access to a leather hole punch plier.They are not expensive and are invaluable if you ever need to punch small gasket holes.If I can help further E-mail.

Hi Dave,

You can try some belt dressing to help with the slipping. New flat belting in various materials and sizes is available at McMaster-Carr Supply Co. See link.

If it's leather you might be anle to use something for treating leather saddles.

Some guys with their lathes use a car timing belt turned around the other way.So it run on the smooth side.Its a place to start.

A variation of this is to use one of the serpentine belts they are so fond of using on newer cars.

A serpentine belt works REALLY good if you turn some grooves in the pullys to match the belt .
