Chester 920 cross slide & Backlash

[Jon Harrison 3Participant @jonharrison3]

The belt was posted yesterday and arrived today – that from the Bearing shop.

Tried Beeline Engineering and that came to about £20 plus their £9 postage !!!!!!!!!!!

Parts from Grizzly arrived with my mate in the US yesterday (ordered last Friday) and in the post to me today.

Might get here by the weekend if Customs don't hang on to them.

Good to have the belt though, at lease I can turn a few little things now.

I emailed Bearing shop and they told me that they can't get any 5m 730 belts till at least April 2022. Looks like you have to pay the high postage and buy a few from America . Looking at the belt a quick fix if it works is to cut a inch and Gorilla glue it on the split upside-down, the glue is in the grooves with the inch of belt on top.

Parts arrived from the US and fitted.

My friend posted them but they didn't leave the US till the 6th.

No Customs hassle either. That can take weeks.

The old screw looked pretty good but the nut was nackered and slopping about.

Best go give it all a go. A pleasure not to be delayed.

Thank you all for the really good information provided.
