7. How to Make a Finger Joint
7-1) Required Tool (tool prepared in advance)
a. Finger Puncher
b. Tape Measure or Ruler
(for measurement of belt length)
c. Ballpoint Pen or Felt Pen (for marking)
7-2) How to Measure Belt Length
① Set the belt along a tape measure or ruler and
make the first mark 200mm from the edge of the
belt. (See diagram to left.)
② Based on the first mark, make a second mark at
the ending point of the required belt length. (Put
both marks on the front side, i.e. on the operator
side.)
③ When consecutively making endless belts,
obtain required belt length and from the second
mark made at the preceding finger joint,
measure out the required belt length and make
another mark. Repeat the above process. By
doing this, punching can always be made at the
right position and there will be no wasted belt.
