Boxford Little Giant Toolpost Grinder Drive Belt Source?

[Martin 100Participant @martin100]

Boxford don't seem to list these on their website and being down to my last one that is more than a bit perished I wondered if anyone knew of a source for them (length 280mm, 10mm wide, maybe 1mm thick.

First thoughts were vacuum cleaner belts

Might be worth looking to see if these folk can supply something suitable, prices look sensible.

I have used these for my TPG

Many thanks for those. 1st link despite being a 'co.uk' is actually based in Austria! with a choice of 270 or 290mm, 2nd one based in the UK but with 300mm the shortest belt on offer.

With postage it's working out at around 8 quid a belt when buying five. I'm almost convinced a belt from a Dyson would be the right size, I have one somewhere!

Let us know how you get on. I recently acquired one and it is still on its original belt but we all know what that means.

Regards.

If other sources fail. then Tony at Lathes.co.uk can make them to order.

Sorry Martin, a Dyson belt will be too long. Also more stretchy than a genuine Boxford original.
