Working on the broaching machine: Change the leather strap!

Changing the belt on the broaching machine

When the broaching machine breaks the belt.

Then you have to lend a hand.

Our pusher plane is in operation every day. With this device, we plane the teeth of the grinders, mainly pepper and salt grinders, but also coffee grinders.
The device dates back to the 50s of the last century, originally it stood in a shotgun manufactory in Germany. But these are tempi passati, now the planer is responsible for enjoyment!
The producer of this machine is the Eugen Weisser company, but it no longer exists.
The ram planer, however, does a good job, but the belt was already very brittle and had to be replaced. At the beginning I was worried that such belts are no longer produced, but we found the company Beltech, which manufactures custom leather belts exactly for such purposes.
