    How about one of our own forum sponsors "the sandpaper man" I found them plenty easy to deal with and good quality product at great price. You will see a link on the right hand side advert boxes.
    no affiliation just a happy customer

    Default The Belts.

    Hi Col,
    Try Dixon J T, 21 Holmes Street, Nth. Geelong. 52 786644,
    I have bought belts there a long time ago, but I think they wood still have them. Ring first.
    All Tools in Thompsons Road.
    Regards,
    issatree.

    I had already looked at The Sandpaper Man and he does not have that length belts which is a shame.

    I will try Dixon on Monday and All Tools does not have that length.

    I can get belts at Carba-tec and Hare and Forbes and Leda (it's a LEDA machine) but the price plus petrol and mainly the time to get there and back is a bit much. I will ring all places Monday to get a postage cost which will be the way to go I think.

    Default Belts Again.

    Hi Col,
    Awhile back, I couldn't get belts, so I bought the closest size, tore it at the join, cut it to the right size, used various ways to get rid of the " Sandy Side ".
    I found a hefty weight, used Loctite 401 Super Glue, put a shopping plastic bag on it, then put the weight on it.
    Worked a treat. Same thing applies if you have a length of S Paper, just glue up your own.
    Regards,
    issatree.

    Default Done

    Thanks all for the above replies.

    Got a couple of belts at J.C Walsh in Airport West. $24.00 each. I was over that way this arvo checking out a wood heater for the shed and dropped in on the way past which was good. No heater though so I am freezing in the shed. I knew I should have taken the coonara with me from the old place but was too lazy. Serves me right..........

    Looking for a wood heater now.

    I sent a request for a price to Pilatus Abrasives the other day when I saw it on Ebay and never heard back. Just for interest how much are your belts 108 x 6 or 2750 x 150 plus postage to Lara Vic.

    Regards Col.

    I see he is only a novice col, maybe he doesn't know to follow the thread, perhaps send him a PM or try on his website for a response

    I have done that but they do not reply. Another reason why it is becoming easier to buy online from overseas.
