I got mine through these guys who are in Melbourne:

Welcome to the Powergrip - Conveyor and Transmission Belt Specialists

The Belts I got were actually Gates units, but were cheaper via these guys than direct from Gates also in Melbourne.

I have come across a bloke just today who is building a full sheet table and his belts were supposed to be much cheaper than the ones I bought. Give me a couple of days and i'll track down his source for you

Thanks Mike

Well guys bit of a bugger but I am going to have to put this on hold for some time.

We found out last week that the wife is 6weeks pregnant still a way to go but it means that most money will have to go into the baby fund bit of s bugger as I have the steel to make the enclosure and was ready to start ordering parts.

But hey all is good this is our first go at this and whilst we never thought it would happen due to some medical problems we gave up years ago it turns out that either nature or the Port Macquarie water has helped us.

I may just buy a little 40-50w machine or similar as a present to mself after xmas and see how it goes.
