I am looking for a belt for my Rikon 70-105 lathe. I believe it takes the same belt as the 70-100 model. Just wondering if there is a place to get that little thing without dropping $20 plus shipping.
Everything I have found on the web from dealers says it is the same belt but the 70-105 has only been on the market for a short time so who knows if that is accurate. The original belt is still working but due to my mistake is missing a rib.I'd double check part numbers though, some guys are saying they are the same and some are saying they aren't......
I would do that but hard to get accurate measurement when part of the belt is missing. That and I really don't want to take the spindle apart till I have to. Yes I am lazy when it comes to that. I did get the numbers off the belt and called Kelly Supply but no go on that.Try www.beltsforanything.com
they have the best prices I've seen. You need to know the length, width & how many ribs to fit the pullys.
They take phone calls too

Oh it runs just fine but it makes a noise. I liked it when it was whisper quite.You mean, you left the spindle lock on and turned it on? I did that lol... 3 times.
FWIW, I turned daily for over a year with mine like that. And the guy that bought it uses it as well.
