Needed: Belts for Jet Midi Lathe Model 46-250
Hi,
I have a Jet Midi Lathe Model 46-250 which I would like to find a source for parts, i.e. belts. I ordered belts on 8-11-04 from an 800 number which is now disconnected. The lathe is only used for light duty work and a new belt that was put on the lathe is already stretching. Is there a source for better quality belts for this lathe?? Thanks for any info sent, R&B Thomas |
Sorry, wrong brand, it's a Delta Midi Lathe

It's a 3 groove belt, approx. 1/4 inch wide.

Here is another option for you.
Do you still have the old belt? If so your local auto parts dealer may be able to help you. I got mine at CarQuest If you feel comfortable with cross index catalog check with Gates Rubbers site http://www.gates.com. You may have replaced the belt before and know how to do it. If not check with http://www.newwoodworker.com/JWL1236tips.html Now I only use belts made in the US/Canada. The OEM belt (Taiwan/China) do not last long. "R&B Thomas" wrote in message ...

I had a similar problem a couple years ago with my Delta Midi - the belts look almost the same. But different colors. You might try your local Delta service depot a call. If it's stretching, you're probably running it a bit too tight. But if you have a bad catch and let it slip much you will burn a flat spot, and that will weaken it. mike somewhere near OhMywoodness.com |
