Does anyone know which of the small v belts would be used with a 1.5 hp 1700 rpm motor? My 9/20 lathe with a 3/4 horse power motor uses one with a width of approximately 1/4 inch. Next size up for 1.5 hp?

I'd go with a 4L belt , IIRC it's about 7/16" wide at the top .

==================================
The B belt on my 6.5 HP "hand-crafted" (home-made) sawmill has held up well through several months of daily use. I did have one fail on the home-made hydraulic pump drive on my 18 HP tractor, but it had lasted a while and slowing the pump by giving it a larger pulley cured the problem. Edge cords broke and caused the belt to roll sideways where it lacked the grip to drive the pump.
My 3HP snow blower takes an A size belt, the 7 HP one uses B belts.
The rated horsepower can be calculated if you have the belt data, which is unlikely for hardware store belts.

I should have looked up the sizes. Put 3L where I wrote A and 4L for B.
Jim - engineersedge sounds good; I'll take a look. Efficiency is the first consideration at this point and the smaller the belt, for the V types, the less loss. The same assumptions indicate a thin flat belt with hi tensile fibers would be better. The v types are easy to work with though.

Is the 4L you mentioned one of the smaller types? Also, any idea of who makes them?

I checked mcmaster. They had only the large v belts, unfortunantly. The small belts (those on the 9/20 lathes are 3/16 in. wide for 3/4 hp) apparantly are made only by Gates and they have calculator for figuring belt size but it requires some learning. I was hoping for someone with a Chinese 12/36 lathe and 1.5 hp motor who might check the belt size.

You can look yourself. Grizzly has decent manuals and that lathe:
Parts manual is here, pdf page 15:
Thanks Leon. That should answer the question.
