Where a V-belt builder can go next
5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a V-belt builder already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.
V-belt builders form V-belts out of calendered rubber rolls. They measure the amount of rubber needed and cut it with scissors. V-belt builders brush rubber cement on sides of the belt. They put belts on the drum to compress materials together and cut the belt to specified width with a knife.
