Trimming belts on a table saw [/QUOTE]
Actually it was pretty easy. Had a "correct" numbered belt for over a year that didn't fit. Figured what the heck, no one seems to be able to supply the one I need so I may as well see what I can do. Set the bevel at 17*and ran it through a few inches at a time while my helper held it down with a wood shim. Made 3 passes just skimming it. Can't even tell the difference between the side I cut and the factory side. Did a second one for a spare while I was at it.
I'm a trim carpenter and I've done some stupid things with tools but this doesn't even make the list!

That is different. I figured that the band saw would fray the belt edge. I thought that I was bad when I installed under drive pulleys on my son's Z24 Cavalier. The only belt that would fit the length had one rib too many. You guessed it, I used my sheetrock with a new blade and peeled one rib off. It worked for at least two years. He sold the car it's probably still on there. I hate to be the owner when he has to replace it and starts scratching his head. When I installed the aluminum pulleys and Hot Rod Air kit in the 69, I took an old v-belt, cut it and used it to measure length. That worked perfect. Only one trip to the parts store.
