I'm asking because if I attempt something like this, it would be much easier for me to use roller chain and buy sprockets vs machining timing sprockets. Also, where did you find the timing belt?
Thanks for the pictures!

Thanks!
This timing belt is really strong, I would be suprised if it would tear apart.
Both belt and pulleys are from Maedler.de.

I did join the belt with a glue called Liquisole, I got it from my local food store, its a really common glue around here, got a very strong joint from it, and the joint is still flexible.
The belt material in Neoprene rubber 1.5mm thick.
