[QUOTE="specweldtom, post: 444548, member: 2580"] Zombie and Cowboy, Good advice. I didn't mention that I've also had workpieces snatched out of my hand a couple of times. Was lucky, (one was a knife blade I was grinding the bevel on) no harm done, but I know that luck can go both ways. I called an industrial supply house that I get lathe and mill tooling and supplies from. They have the 2" x 72" belts and 6" x 48", both Norton brand. Based on your replys, I'm going up to Houston tomorrow and get about a years supply, no more. I superglued 2 of the 72" belt splices earlier today, and will try running them but not doing any work or even getting in front of them. Just curious now.... I'll pull the rest of them apart and have a lifetime supply of sanding straps to use instead of buying the 50 foot rolls. Zombie, thanks very much for the offer, but I'm convinced. Nothing like experience. I sure would have expected the splices to last longer, but 10 years was obviously unreasonable. Now I'm amazed that they only recently started coming apart! Thanks for the info and offer. I got it covered. Tom [/QUOTE]
