Small link belt?

[gato markham]

:(I thought I saw a second smaller link belt, one that I could replace the bad,warped belt that came with my Ridgid drill press. Does anyone have a link to the link?

Is 3/8" small enough? http://www.grizzly.com/products/Power-Twist-V-Belt-3-8-x-5-/H9816

My Ridgid drill press uses the 3/8 inch belt. One is 24 inches and the other is 26 inches in length.

Why not just buy a new v-belt?

I have replaced my belts on the Jet DP with Link Belts and it works very nice. You can actually eliminate the two belts and just use one (Gives you five speeds which should be fine for most applications) you just need to flip on the pulleys (Either on the Motor or the Quill) to get the proper speed changes.

If it takes 3/8" ones I know that Grizzly carries them as one of the others stated.

I have a Craftsman Commercial drill press that takes the tiny belt. I don't, at this time, need a replacement but wonder where I can find one when the one I have goes south. The belt is probably too small for a link belt, it is a little bigger than a shoe string. Any suggestions?

I've used this company once in the past for a belt, worked fine.
