I have a Grizzly G9247. Last night the belt broke. Grizzly said the factory that made those is out of business and they dont know where to get one. I hate to throw out a lathe over a belt. Where do I find one for this?

I dont know your lathe but would one of the segmented or link type belts be an option? In a pinch I have used 550 paracord and yep even pantyhose will work. Not a long term solution but in a pinch might work.
 
Well, 6 places and nobody knows where to get anything close to this belt. Looks like my trash can is going to get a bit heavier this week. Any suggestions on where to sell the MT1 attachments? I was thinking Craigslist.
 
Try beltsforanything.com. They have a phone number listed. Have all of the dimensions of your belt available. Width, number of ribs if it has any, length (outside circumference of the belt).
 
The belt should have a number on it, somewhere on the back of the belt. It may need to be cleaned off to find it.

The number should lead you to a new belt somewhere.

I don't know your lathe, but if it is a V-Belt, you can simply calculate the belt you need using a V-Belt calculator (measure the width from the old belt).

V-Belt Length Calculator

After that just find a belt the right width and length, the number sort of become irrelevant as long as the belt fits the application.
 
I checked the PDF.. The darn thing takes a clgged timing belt..

What are the dimensions of the old belt? total length, width, space between teeth?
 
Hi Rodtod

Give Martha at Motion Industries in Florence, SC a call. 843-395-0095. I will be suprised if she does not fine you one.

+1 on Motion Industries - and they have outlets all over. Look 'em up on the internet. I'd be surprised if they didn't have an outlet near you.

Even on the stuff that isn't so hard to find, their prices usually are better than the competition.
