Drum sander feed belt

[cyclopentadiene]

I just purchased a Delta X5 18-36 drum sander. The feed belt is a little worn and I would like to replace. Called WW supply, not available. Where is the best place to obtain a replacement. Also, how long do these generally last, should i order a couple just to save shipping in the future.

Thanks for comments.

Try this site: www.dewaltservicenet.com/Products/DocumentView.aspx?productid=72196&typeId=16963&documentId=36190
It might not be your model, but you should be able to find your part if you know the model number. Good luck.

A replacement conveyor belt is less than $20 through your local DeWalt/Delta Service Center. I believe you have a Delta 31-255X and need Part number 31-814 (Item number 24 on the parts drawing found in this link). There is one located at:

DELTA | PORTER-CABLE/DEWALT FACTORY SERVICE #071
3402 WEST WENDOVER AVENUE
GREENSBORO, NC 27407
US
336-852-1300

Also,

If price prohibitive with Delta, try: Klingspor's. I attended a TWA meeting (Triangle WW'rs Assoc)

in which the guest speaker was the VP of Bus Dev/Marketing.

He mentioned that if they dont carry one in stock, they can make to order. He said the cost is not prohibitive and they make some awesome sandpaper!

I had a performax for 10 years and never had to change the feed belt. I would stick with just getting one.

Just had to replace my Performax 22-44 belt. I placed an order with these folks. http://www.industrialabrasives.com/ I paid $20.00 for mine.

Only catch is you have to purchase two. At the price, it's hard to beat though. You will need to measure your old one and give them the width and length. I don't remember the lady I talked with but good folks to deal with.
