Abstract
The present invention includes a multiple abrasive belt apparatus in which endless abrasive belts are movable in a circuitous manner. Discrete belt assemblies each including an abrasive belt are mounted on a support structure and a single motor is used to run all of the discrete belt assemblies. A jack shaft is operatively connected to the motor by a first drive belt, and then in turn is operatively connected to first and second drive shafts by second and third drive belts. The first and second drive shafts are operatively connected, each to two discrete belt assemblies such that motive force is transferred from a single motor to four discrete belt assemblies.
