    Replacement belt for Performax 16-32

    Well....my belt is coming apart at the seam.....so I guess I had better order me a new one. I figured that one of these should last at least a year right? Mine will be a year old in March. Does anyone have a good location to buy replacement belts / conveyor belts for the 16-32 that are not too expensive? Seems like I saw them "somewhere" for under $30 each.

    Clueless in Conway......
    Thanks & Happy Wood Chips,

    Dennis,

    I would think it would last more the 9 months. Doesn't the machine have a 2 year warranty, I would call Jet. After almost 2 years my belt looks good, but the belt motor buzzes more then it should.

    Dennis,

    Mine lasted right at a year and when it came from gether it was right in the middle of sanding a pretty piece of mahogany. Would have been alright if it just broke, but it balled up under the wood and shoved into the drum. Made a nice valley right it in the middle of it, arrrgggh!

    Picked up the replacement at the local toy store, but don't remember what I paid for it.

    Dennis,

    Mine has stayed together fine, but now the wood is slipping like the drive belt is worn out. It's a major pain to have to hold the wood down to the belt to keep it moving. I readjusted the pressure rollers, but it didn't help. Guess I gotta get one too.

    Industrial Abrasives just made me two for $11 and change each. The seem to be about the same as the Performax ones which for that machine are $70 EACH!!! The nice lady said they make lots of them and have no bad feedback on the life or quality.

    As Mark Twain said

    Reports of my demise are greatly exagerated. Or something like that. This is the first time I've had time to log on though I peek from time to time.

    Greg, I stopped by to see you yesterday and you were off stuffing your face.
