How would you cut down the width of the belt from http://www.mcmaster.com/#rough-top-belts/=10m5v49 to fit on the gears in the KOP kit though, cuz I'm guessing straight out cutting them would tear it to shreads. Is there a special tool or can you request a specialized order?

We cut the blue nitrile rough top with tin shears. They work really well. As for splicing the tread, we were considering threading the two ends together with very thin wire. This would be the first time we are using blue nitrile for belt/tread material, so, we are still experimenting with different ways to splice it.
