[TheForge] shuttle - High temp glue

[Ron Childers]

They are the smaller idler wheels; they turn abt 9 times as fast the larger
wheels, plus the friction from hogging out a large forged blade probably
adds to the heat, but the belts don't feel hot when changing them.

 You could be right; I think I need a stronger spring anyway and it costs
nothing to try it. I made some rollers for another grinder I'm building;(a
mean hawg) and don't want to mess around with the black 3-M although it
worked fine on the large wheel on a 1" grinder I built about 7 yrs ago- I
glued a section of the timing belt onto the timing gear from a Toyota,
bushed it and wedged it onto the motor shaft. Funky, perhaps, but it works.

Ron, this sounds pretty strange. Why are your rollers getting so hot? It 
sounds like you have too much slippage.

Caveat: I don't have a belt grinder. I may not have a clue.
