Help needed

[jvsank]

My drive belt for my delta mini lathe broke and I for some reason in my move last year have missed placed the owners manual does anyone know where I can order a new one.
Thanks in advance for any help

Is there a Woodcraft or Rockler store near you? They should have them. Or you can take the belt to an auto parts store and see if they have one that matches it.

I'm sure the Delta website has a parts breakdown on your lathe. They had the manual for my bandsaw.

If it is a flat mulit-groove belt similar to the one used by the Jet mini, you will be able to get one from these folks for about half of what Delta will charge you. You will need the number off of the original belt so you are sure you get the correct sized replacement.

The manual for the Delta is available in PDF form online. This link should get you started:

http://www.deltamachinery.com/index.asp?e=136&p=985 (I don't know how to make this an active link.)

They also offer a parts list. My experience is that they will give you a Delta part number and absolutely no details about the part.

You can get the Woodcraft store near you to order as stated earlier and you can look on this site to find the closest authorized dealer to order from: www.deltamachinery.com
The Delta's take a v-groove and is too small to replace with a flat or LINK BELT.

Thanks everyone for your help I was able to find one from a retailor listed on delta's web site

My Delta Midi has a flat ribbed belt, not a v-groove.
