20" scrollsaw drive belt replacement

Post by keninar »

New to this forum - bought my Dad a Mark V system upon his retirement in the late 80's. Inherited the tools upon his passing. They have worked great over the years - current question centers on the stand alone 20" scrollsaw drive belt.
Broke the belt a couple of years ago - ordered two - replaced on and it has served well for a number of years. Broke that one a couple of months ago - and now cannot locate the instructions on how to replace it. (And too old to remember!!)
Anyone able to lend assistance on how to replace this belt?

Thanks!

That's it - Thanks.

(I figured this was not an original query - but couldn't figure out how to do a Search on the forum. Hence the posted query.

Thanks again!

(Irony to the story is that the "extra" drive belt I had is apparently so old that it snapped when I gave it a test stretch. I do remember the stretch was quite a bit when I did the first replacement - thought I'd give it a test tug- and Snap!)

Live and learn!


Thanks again.
