BV20 latche belts size

[DavyD]

Good evening,

As I inherited my fathers lathe, a belt-driven model BV-20 from Chinese production, I saw there were a lot of parts lost. I've found some specs on the internet with the belt lengths, I ordered them, but it seems a couplle of them are too short (or I'm too weak).

Could someone provide me the right belt lenghts for my lathe please?

Many thanks,
Davy.

Most of the Chinese lathes use a 5M710 belt. 5mm wide and 710 mm in length. If you have an old belt you can measure it to see if the length is correct.

There is a lever that needs to be pulled forward before the belt goes on. Then when let back ti will tension the belt.
