I used wmberg.com belt length calculator:
pitch dia large 5.083
pitch dia small 5.083
belt length 100

The output... center to center distance 42.0156

Using Martin 32H100SK pulleys (on shaft with bearings) and a Bando 1000H100 Synchro-link belt, the belt is much too tight, so tight must grab belt with two hands to rotate pulleys. I read somewhere belt tension should be 5 pounds. Can someone confirm calculations?
