Belt for table saw

czechsonofagun · Jul 18, 2011

I searched the internet and TBN too to no luck. I need new belts for my table saw. They appear to be 6.5" long (measured inside the loop) and about 3/8" inch wide - not sure about that, since the old belts are warned out a lot.

Would you know where to look? Thanks!

Check at a automotive parts place. or a lawn mower shop.
6 1/2 inch is a fairly common length.

I looked at TSC and nothing, will try Autozone, thanks.

Use a link belt - size it to fit.

Go to the Grangers site for belts, they have tons and tons of info about belts. You will not be able to buy a belt from them, however you will have a part number to work with.

Here's another source, perhaps closer to home than my first post.

+1 on the link belt -- even Harbour freight has them and they run with less vibration

Hale Mary on the link belt...that in addition to ground cast pulleys on mine will have a penny standing on edge all day long (yes, while it's running.)

Thanks guys, I had something else to buy from MCCarr, went with them.

Among advantages you listed here the linkbelt is also guaranteed to fit, makes life much easier on internet order.
