Well it might work, I have never tried it since I was always told you 
can not use a laced belt in a twisted belt setup. The lacing as it 
crosses the belt will cause extra wear and tear and soon ruin the belt. 
I've never used anything but an endless belt on a hammer mill.
Used to see them at farm auctions a few years ago. I remember dad buying 
an old IH chopper that he did not need just so he could get the good 
endless belt that came with the chopper.
