That looks great , where in Qld are you so I can come over and borrow it . Can you put a 2inch belt on it

[farnie]

Hi,Im in Alexandra hills.
The contact wheel is only 25mm wide x 550mm Dia.
I was advised by top knife makers that this is the best way to go.
Ido run a 50mm belt on a 250mm x 25mm wheel over a platten.
cheers farnie

Welcome. You can get 12c27 straight from Sandvik, but the minimum size is 1000mmx38mmxwhatever thickness you need. Deon Unsworth is the guy to talk to.

Welcome to forum. That is a big contact wheel. A pity it wasn't wider. 50mm would be good.

[farnie]

Thanks I will give him a ring.
