Default Belts for Craftsman/Palmgren 15" lathe

I was going to ask if the exchange rate had made an enormous move without my
notice. Okay, 6 for us$80 is cheaper than 1 for C$50.

BTW, we bought our first dog in Nova Scotia; they are available in the US
now.

Oops! Sorry about that. I meant to say that I got six belts for the
$80.00.

I like my Craftsman 15" but have found some difficulty with the drive
belts, they wear quickly and Sears wants about C$50 for them. Way too much
for a small belt. These are of course a proprietary size and no one else
makes them. One of the manufacturers used to make a slightly larger one so
it could be used, but they no longer do so. So I had some made for me a
the Belt Store of Lafayette. Including shipping I got them for under $US80
with about two and a half weeks for make up and delivery to Nova Scotia.
Very nice. I put one on and it is great. No affiliation except
satisfaction but I thought folks might like to know. They will make up any
belt you want. The Craftsman uses a 207 3gt x 20mm.
