Title: Shorten Dryer Belt
Post by: printguy on October 01, 2013, 01:40:34 PM: Took a dryer out of service & replaced it - the belt is in good condition. Was thinking about getting it cut down length-wise to fit another dryer whose belt has seen better times. Anybody know somebody who could do it?

If it is ours we will cut it down for you.

Here is the guy I have used for belts before, belts are great and their prices are even better!

I am not sure but Action Engineering might also be able to help you out.

Hmm, can a belt be drawn in Solid Works?

J/K Erik, great to meet you the other day!
