It's about 1-1/2 wide and 3/8" thick....and very expensive when you have one custom made that is 20+ feet long. It's the drive belt Harley Davidson used on their motorcycles. Koike is using a flat roller drive with a stainless steel band on their smaller waterjet machines. I would have thought that the drive rollers would slip, but they said they don't slip until they exceed 6 ft/lbs. I suppose if you hit 6 lb/lbs of torque something has gone wrong anyway.
