Nova 3000 motor pulley
I don't know the size ... - can you easily take it off and put on
another ? - if so take it to a big auto-shop. They have belt BOOKS that go over lots more than just cars and trucks. Another is look for a 'belt' or Rubber company in town. They make industrial belts. Maybe they have a source or make one.

Link belt is what I was thinking too. I have one on my Delta Contractor saw. Can't say its better or worse or different than the regular belt that was on the saw when new. But its RED. So it must be better because its RED.. And has lots of little RED links in it. |

Nova 3000 motor pulley
The talk was ribbed belt. Like on a Car or Truck - many ribs on the
long fan..... belt. I use link belt on both my wood lathe and metal lathe. Both work just fine and the metal lathe cuts cleanly and has the power it needs. Link belt was made for conveyor motors driving the long lines.
