Belt Replacement - Grizzly T25920 12x18 Wood Lathe

[Bill_L]

Hi,
The part below is on backorder from Grizzly. This is the first time I've had to replace the belt to I'm unsure if I can order something 'close' from Amazon? The belt is about 3/8" wide and the description notes 25L but mine measured closer to 27". Would this work: 3/8" Power Twist V-Belt? Thanks!

Measure the drive angle of the power twist. There are three.
The Griz belt is a modern high-tech belt poly, not rubber and cotton cord. Probably due to using a very small diameter sheave. If this is a Reeves drive, then the link-belts are not a good choice.

Note the Chinese seem to confuse the two belt measuring systems, the outer circumference and the running circumference. Imperial belts use one system. metric another but they confuse them. I do not know what spec you have. Might call D&D power as they stock decent quality of the odd sizes the Chinese like to use.

Grizzly will have them in stock mid-March so I've ordered from there. I don't turn that much - mostly bottle stops and an occasional ashtray. Those can all wait.
