I got this off to the Orchid list. It was posted by someone who is having good luck with elastic ponytail holders for replacement belts on the Harbor Freight/Central Electric tumbler:
>>That particular machine is kind of notorious for its belt issues. We
have one in our shop at school and it's driven us nuts since we got
it. The one thing we've found that works for the belt replacement is
the metal-free elastic ponytail holders... the thick ones. They come
in a variety of diameters, and the largest is just about perfect in
tension and size to drive the thing. Now we keep a bag handy for
whenever we need one. <<
Orchid is a free, moderated list of Bench Jewelers, metal smiths, etc. If is a vital resource to me and my business. Their posts are archived along with a ton of articles written by world renown teachers and metalsmiths.
