I have a wonderful antique pedal scroll saw that I have only been able to use a few times. I NEED HELP FINDING A PROPER DRIVE BELT. I have used the round leather sewing machine belts without much luck. They stretch and are usually not long enough so they have to be spliced making them week. I've found several belts long enough but they are to thick or wide to travel through the wheel track. Please let me know if anyone has successfully found or created a belt for this unit. I really miss using it!

Working in my shop today I was removing the pattern and blue painters tape. I got to place that was very fragile and was very careful. Yet a small piece broke off. This piece was about 1/4" long and a 1/16" wide. Since the pattern is totally symmetrical I wanted to put it back in. Normally I use a tooth pick but am out of them. I looked around and could not find anything small enough to fit in that area for the repair . I looked in y trash can a seen some old blades from my scroll saw. I used one of them. Was surprised at how easy it was to control the amount glue applied and the control of applying the titebond. The repair went very good and no excess glue or lines could be seen. Just thought I would share this little tid bit I learned today in case anyone else runs into this.
