This fixture accurately and firmly applies pressure to a flat leather or synthetic belt while the adhesive glue sets up. By placing the skived, (tapered),  glued ends of the belt between the compression plates and into the fixture, pressure can be applied to securely set the skived ends together. Flat belts made up this way run much quieter than belts laced or mechanically fastened together. Why hear the "clicketty-clack" of the belt while working on your lathe? Quality cast of aluminum with solid brass and steel components right here in the USA! Bring that old iron back to life the time tested way they did it years ago. Use this fixture on any machine powered by a flat belt up to 1/4 inch thick and up to 1 1/2 inches wide, any length. We recommend "Barge" cement, an excellent adhesive used in the leather industry for over 100 years! When it works, why change it? Also available in our "accessories" section of our website in a convenient 2 oz. tube.
