    I bet. a modern serpentine automotive belt would be more then good enough for that low horsepower. Lathe owners often run them flat side in contact and lace them in the grooves or a glued splice.

    There are a two sets of those, the fence drops in those and then the one side with the wing nut gets tightened and that clamps the fence down.

    Nice. Seems like a rock solid system for having different fence positions.
