G0704 BeltDrive (L-Style, V Belt or MicroRib J belts)

[CountryGib]

Gents-

I've learned immensely from everybody's input on this forum. To give back, I've compiled all my thoughts on the G0704 belt drive topic in this video.


Styles of belt drive tested where, L-style timing belts, V belts, and MicroRib PolyV J belts.

In the end, if using the stock motor, very reliable success can be achieved with a Microrib Poly V belt with Delrin pulleys. Cost of material to make the pulleys was about $5 bucks and belt was $5 bucks. Catch the end of video to see the hogging power, no slippage at-all with stock motor.

Hopefully this helps someone else not waste time failing.

Please add links to where you got the belt and the model number.

I realize now that you made the pulley.

This is a really nice video sir.

I never have any issues with a v-belt and I run some fairly big tools with a reasonable sized 14A BLDC motor. My pulleys are aluminum. I don't even run the tension all that tight, I set it by hand and generally back it off a bit to add a tad bit of slack in the belt. The multi groove is nice, but the v-belt should be more than enough.

Travis-

I had the belt on hand so not sure where it came from. But it is a 140J6 Poly V belt.
