Building my first DIY turntable. Belt drive. How do I choose the right belt? I am not talking about brand name, but rather the length in relation to how far the motor spindle is from the platter. What do I measure? Is there some ratio based formula for then choosing the belt length?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Use a good quality factory flat belt, and a barrel shaped motor pulley. Make the motor to platter distance adjustable, and tension as necessary.I tried dental floss once, but all that happened was my platter got cavities.
