Where did those of you who had to replace the 120 grit belt that moves the wood under the drum buy your replacement?

I need to replace mine and thought before I just google for one I would ask.

Maybe you just had a 16" wide belt made, if so where? I need to measure mine and find the length if that is the cheapest route to go.

thanks

Performax customer service offered to send one to me for list price plus $25 or so handling fee. I ordered mine through my local Woodcraft - same price but no shipping and handling. Absurdly expensive in any case.

I see them for sale on ebay from time to time.

Rockler has them. I bought a spare there even though I don't need it yet. The belt is starting to rip in places though.

do a search on ebay for deer performax. I talked to the company and they are a much heavier belt than the original performax belt for alot less money. I think I will order one. They said they sell about 10 per day

Thanks Mike!

I knew there must be a lower cost solution some place. I search eBay today but didn't find this guy. Searched for deer performax and found it right off! Love those search engines.

Jerry,

If the 16" X 48" are the ones I need for the Performax 16-32 they are about half price from the eBay guy!!!

If someone knows the length, please post. If not, I think I need to go to the shop and measure this thing.

You guys are great!!
