Steel City Lathe

papaturner · 02-21-2012, 05:46 PM

I would love to have a spare belt for my Steel City Lathe model # 60170 5 speed
Part # is OR71658.
Does anyone have one to sell or know where one might buy one. I have Googled it and cannot come up with a source. Mine has not broken yet but I`m sure with time it will.
I appreciate any help.

Could you take it to some place that sells belts, like NAPA, they could probably match it.

had to replace the belt on my Jet this weekend.

made the mistake of asking the wife to stop at AutoZone while she was out. Came home with the wrong thing even though she gave them the part number. for AZ, it's special order

O'reilly had one in stock.

both places - even though I say I need a "3L230 v-belt" - the first question they ask is "what car is that on?"

I expect such stupidity from AZ. I guess O'reilly has gone to the dogs as well. Their employees used to be much smarter.

What type of belt is it? If you can I would use a Link Belt from Wood Craft or Even Harbor Freight. I have the HF on my old lathe and it worked well.

Thanks for the help.........I`ll try them all.

Chris the belt is one of the flat type not sure what the technical name is.
