New ones made from synthetic materials, usually neoprene, should be easy to find. They're what I use in Singer 111's and 112's when they need a replacement.

how many stitches per inch is sufficient. This thing will do 5 to 30 per inch. Ordered two belts thanks for the advice.

It all depends on the the thread your using. Sailrite had a good article on this subject. I'll try to post it again but it is a stickie too.

The link to the Sailrite post is in the sewing and information thread on here.
Sewing Resources and Information
With the discussions on sewing (or thread injecting if you prefer), I think it may be beneficial to those interested if we had a single resource thread for sewing information. I know a number of the little things I’ve picked up along the way are scattered throughout the forum. Please, if you...

How to Sew Webbing Loops
Learn what the strongest stitch patterns are for sewing webbing loops and how to sew webbing for load bearing applications using a handy formula.

There is a math formula in it that will be a general guideline. It is pretty straight forward. If you have any questions, ask or shoot me pm. With my V92 thread, I'll run about 8 stitches per inch. If I remember correctly, roughly 33 inches of stitches will get you about 6,000 pounds breaking strength.

Total stitches is what you should consider for the load bearing of the connection. Basically it is thread breaking strength x number of stitches x 1.5. The 1.5 factor is empirical for the 2 threads which form an interlocked stitch.
When I sewed my saddle I used V92 Kevlar thread at a breaking strength of 30 lbs. I made more than 15 lines of 6 stitches per inch. Each line was 4 inches, the width of my webbing. 30 x 15 x 6 x 4 x1.5 = 16,200 lbs breaking strength.

Good article. I am learning a lot about thread injecting.

Besides the fact that it is a high speed tailoring-type straight stitch machine, very little. I don't know the foot lift or max thread size.

Looks like a gamble. Tailoring type machine, but may work for your projects. Missing at least a few parts, and you still need a motor and table. Unless you already have a table and motor, I would steer clear.

Simple straight stitch machine. The price is right. And you can drop another industrial head into this table cut out (it's a standard size) if you want a heavier duty machine later.

Anybody know anything about this? Having a hard time with this thread since everything seems to be listed north of the Mason Dixon.
