I use these belts on my lathe the Z is about 300mm BC

I was cutting some tool steel and a bit too hard it pushed the bar in the lathe chuck but the pulleys are about £30/40 each, built it has awesome power. Backlash is 0.05mm

Sorry maybe I came across wrong there - I meant to agree with you!
I meant to say that the laser cut pulleys and only 5mm wide belts were not good.

I've used XL pulleys and 1/2" (some bigger) belts on my machines. HD belts would be nice...
