Those turned out nice Leon... that was exactly what I was describing. Nice work

The only thing is that I would cut a little bit off the ends of the rods... so that the last half inch or so has a half-moon cross section. Then you arrange the rods so that the flat section is facing up and it gives you more exact marks to measure with. Your call though, I am just very picky

edit: did I describe that in such a way that it made sense?

So if the belt stretches it never gets corrected? You just replace the belt?

Maybe I should make a few more and throw them up for sale.

How much were they off? They are usually off as much as a whole mark or two.

And yes that would be a good GB idea...
