I have one of these linishing machines:
linisher
The belt is 66" x 6" and therefore not that easy to get hold of (infact, that company seems to be one of the only ones who can supply). As a
result the belts are £10 each which to me seems expensive?
So then I thought I could convert it (lengthen the bed) to make it a more standard size. But it appears there aren't any standard sizes longer
than that?! 'standard' seems to be 1090mm.
Any ideas? Its a good machine to be fair but let down by this awkward size (though the benefit is the very long bed).
Remember reading something somewhere about a company that can make belts up for you to any length for not to much money I think it was on the DIY MIG
forum?
Helpful or what!

Could you use a narrower belt. 6" is very wide if used for dressing.

try searching for 2m*150mm. or Hermes or TAS who both make 2000mm*150 belt linishers.

axminster.co.uk carry 150*2250 belts for some reason.
However, thats a lot of linishing belt, so unless you are buying by the hundred I suspect that £10 each is about right.

Contact johnt1102 on ebay and ask if he has anything in that kind of size. He is very helpful.
That company DKknieghtly or whatever their called deal in some rare kit. I deal with them sometimes and they do seem expensive. I hate calling them as the fella that answers the phone needs everything explaining twice
