I worked in a wood shop that ran an old planer that had a leather belt that had to be skived and glued to gether in place.It took 2 men a good part of the morning .Too many parts would have to be removed to put on a ready made belt.I have an old flat belt driven metal lathe that I never set up when I moved.When the leather belts wore out they were replaced with cotton rubber.I worked in the mills I learned to splice rubber belting.All the old pickers had flat belting,Now there are only a few places on a cow where you can get thick leather.If you need a long belt you have to skive and glue up leather.Cotton belts run fine on crowned pulleys.I ran an AC roto baler for a few years that wore out a few belts.Still have my splicing tools.I used Alligator splicing that you could clinch with a hammer.I still have a length of new leather belting,hope I never have to use it.
