Re: How can you make a belt out of tubing?

We did this, but with pneumatic tubing. All you have to do is cut it (being a slanted cut instead of square helps so that you can get a larger contact area) then use an electrical heat gun to melt it together into a loop. Works very well and we machined simple pulleys for it.

We have video and CAD up on our website of this.
