I like my Craftsman 15" but have found some difficulty with the drive belts, they wear quickly and Sears wants about C$50 for them. Way too much for a small belt. These are of course a proprietary size and no one else makes them. One of the manufacturers used to make a slightly larger one so it could be used, but they no longer do so. So I had some made for me a the Belt Store of Lafayette (http://www.beltsforanything.com). Including shipping I got them for under $US80 with about two and a half weeks for make up and delivery to Nova Scotia. Very nice. I put one on and it is great. No affiliation except satisfaction but I thought folks might like to know. They will make up any belt you want. The Craftsman uses a 207 3gt x 20mm.

How many did you get for $80?

Oops! sorry about that. I got six belts for the $80.00.

Now THAT'S a good deal. Thanks a lot for the information -- I have the same lathe you do, and I'll be sure to take advantage of the deal.
