I just needed what sounds like similar belts for a surface grinder pulley
and got them at Motion Industries for around $12 each. They're made by
Gates and called Poly Flex Belts. Mine are P/N 5M450, which might help you
get to the right area of Gates web site.

FWIW, it looks like someone is auctioning a similar set of belts on Ebay at
present.

I have an antique hobby lathe (ca 1930s Craftsman Companion??) that uses
belts and pulleys to drive the leadscrew. The pulleys are vee'd, and about
1/4" across the top of the vee. Overal length of the belt is 16 inches,
maybe 16.25" at the outside/top of groove. Where can I get two belts?
I think the urethane round belts would work fine as well. MSC shows
them in "make your own" but the minimum quantity is too high.
This lathe sits on a display shelf and probably won't be ever used,
but I'd like to complete it.
