Further to my previous post of some months ago, my on-going search for a "K"
size belts has proved more difficult than I had imagined.

To recap, K-belts are common in the small drill presses which are ubiquitous
in most tool stores. Not so the belt replacements. The crossection is 5/16"
width and 1/4" (or 7/32") depth with the usual angle of 38 degrees.

The nearest I found is this belt by Gates:

which, however, has an angle of 60 degrees.

The question then is: Is this belt likely to perform satisfactorily in a
sheave designed for a 38 degree belt?
