Can anyone describe tools and techniques for skiving a baler belt in preparation for lacing. I haven't had any luck with web search.

We skive lots of belts in our plant, and use a tool that our belt supplier calls a "skive knife". It"s relatively cheap, and does a pretty goood job, but it might be slow if the belt is very wide. We just skive (remove) enough of the top (or bottom, in some cases) to recess the lacing for the belt.
Another little "trick" you may or may not know of, is to cut the belt from the end of the lacing to the edge of the belt at an angle (doesn"t really matter how much angle---30-45 degrees, typically) so that, as the belt runs, the lacing doesn"t have as much chance to catch if the belt gets off-center.
Good Luck!

If you have smooth belt you do not need to do this. If it is a rough/traction belt there are a couple ways to go. I use 4.5" side grinder and clean off about 3" of material so the belt will go in the lacer. The belt companies make a tool but a good sharp pocket knife is almost as effective. If you have only one belt to do a knife will work if you have a set, get the grinder.
