I'm trying to find a drive belt for my Turncrafter Pro. I was
disappointed to find PSI didn't sell them. Anyone have any sources?

Did you contact their customer service, either by email or calling?

Yes... no response yet

most belts are standard lengths and configurations - just go to the catalog
and get a part number - GATES is a good place to start

You can try mcmaster.com, I think it uses a timing belt.

Mine came with an extra one in the box so you might have one hiding in
the shop somewhere.

I'm not 100% positive, but pretty sure that the Jet belts fit this
machine. If you belong to a club or have a Woodcraft nearby, you can
take your belt off and compare it to a Jet mini, and just get a belt
from Jet if it matches.

Or take the broken one to a decent autoparts or farm store, assuming
it's a typical V belt (not being specifically acquainted with what a
turncrafter pro is, and whether it has a weird drive belt). [Google
ensues] Penn state says 5 pulley steps, so I'm guessing it is a V belt.
Gack - yet another rip-off of (and paint color for) that bass-ackwards
tailstock mini-lathe design - whoever came up with that benighted piece
of crap first should be flattered (they are more probably deep in debt
to their laywers, but the blatant copies just keep coming...)

Even if it is a strange one, most medium and larger size towns will have
a place that specializes in belts. I've never found a belt the store
here couldn't match.

no one seems to have pointed it out yet - belts have numbers on them, and a
manufacturer - those can be a hint.

IF none, measure width of groove(s) in sheave, and total length and just
look it up - honest, it's not hard. The belt may be unobtainium when you
finally figure out what it is, but first find out what it is.
