[QUOTE="ZombieHitman, post: 444482, member: 28260"] Tom, I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but once a sanding belt splits like that, it's done. Having gone through hundreds of them in my custom furniture shop, there's no saving one that's come apart. It's not safe, it's not smart, and you WILL get hurt if it flies apart at speed. Seen it happen. Don't EVER want to see it again. My rule of thumb is that any sanding belt that's more than a year old gets cut up so it can't be put on any machine, and used for hand sanding. It's just flat not worth the hassles, headaches, and the pain, as you're starting to find out. What size belts do you use? I have some that are new that you can have if they're your size, and you PROMISE me that you'll toss those antique belts in the trash. [/QUOTE]
