Looking for source for 1/2 inch wide MXL timing belts
48MXL050, to be more exact...
All the "usual" (to me) sources seem to stop at 3/8 inch width. COuld use two, 1/4 inch belts, but not sure this is best... Thanks in advance / mark |

Thanks in advance / mark Breco can supply urethane/steel XL pitch belts up to at least 1" wide, but I've never seen one as short as 4.8", if that's what the 48 in your number specifies. $50 minimum, IIRC, though you may be able to get around that by going thru Motion Industries, etc. http://www.brecoflex.com/home.html I do have a supplier for wide neoprene belts as well, but can't remember the name right now. If you're still watching this, contact me offline and I'll dig it up. You're correct that 2 narrow belts will not be as good as a single belt. Ned Simmons |
