Question on Drill press drive belt!

[carbore]

Hi,

I have a bench drill press I picked up second hand. Seems the drive belt is worn out so it wont hold any load.

The belt only has R680 on it. Is that likely to be a generic part no?

Its off a Power G 5 speed 13mm drill press (looks cheapo!)

Can anyone recommend any suppliers (I tries google but R680 is a bit vague!)


Thanks

Is it a machine mart special?

680 is its length, R is probably a manufacturers code, take a look at:

Try taking your old belt to your local agricultural merchant.

Unsure of its origin, second hand, but looks like all the cheapo ones that machine mart, argos etc sell.

I think taking the belt to my agricultural shop is a good idea, they sorted my ride on mower belt out after a bout of over zelous mowing! (I learned that the hard (expensive) way)!

go to an engineering suplies, and get a good conti, or someting, should only be about 3 or 4 quid tops, so dont buy a crap jap reformed flipflop type as supplied on sealey clark etc, as they literaly fall apart to dust.

Try BSL or Wyko in the yellow pages, or any bearing/seal supplier. Failing that look at RS Components or Cromwell on the web.
