The one I have on mine now is a replacement and is the same way. I just gave up and it rides the rail on the right side.

Does anybody have any experience with what tape, adhesive, and procedure you would use to repair it ? Thanks |

There’s a lot of pressure on that seam. Making a lasting repair is likely to be difficult. Replacement belts are available for most machines. Amazon has several for this machine. If I were to attempt it, I might try gluing a strip of fabric across the seam. I wouldn’t expect the repair to hold up. |

If you’re not dead set on repair, I would replace. Any piece of wood you run through it is worth more than a replacement conveyor belt is, and could be ruined if the repair goes janky while you’re sanding it. To my mind, not worth the risk. https://www.amazon.com/performax-16-32- ... veyor+belt |

Supergrit in Pa. A good source. https://www.supergrit.com/ryobi-1600-je ... 16-32.html |

I'm assuming the seam uses a lap joint. I would try contact cement or rubber cement. Contact cement gives a stronger bond with some flexibility, while rubber cement is more flexible with a weaker bond. Eventually you will probably need a new belt. |

This Barge All-Purpose TF Cement is the bomb. https://a.co/d/0KVauhc I would consider this a "permanent" cement. I would think a very thin leather strip lap bonded (per @Clay S. ) to your belt with this cement would work for a very long time. I've been making leather scabbards/ covers for my expensive chisels and dragon files and was stitching the edges with waxed cord. I found the cement alone was not reversable and no longer even stitch the sides. Remarkable bonds..... |

I wonder what the chances are of gluing it back together and having it end up being "square" enough to track properly. A replacement belt I bought several years ago turned out to be out of square and no matter how I adjusted the tension screws on the roller, it would not track properly. |

I had the same problem with mine. After trying a couple of new belts that tracked to the right, I got new bushings for the rollers and crowned the drive roller with tape. It still did it. I finally located some of the jet ceramic blocks to protect the metal from getting a groove sanded in it, and sold the machine (I had located a used 22-44 OSC for a good price. It tracks straight.). I noticed there was a slight offset in the seam edge on both the belts, so if you see that on a new belt, send it back! |

I just bought a used Supermax 16-32 that came with a torn conveyor belt. The Amazon prices even shipped to Canada is way cheaper than what I paid. At least I got a pretty good deal on the Supermax. |
