Powermatic 1150 V/S belt

Does Gates make a v/s belt for the 1150 or should I just buy whatever comes from replacement parts.com?

I wouldn’t put all that much stock in gates as a lot more of their belts are coming from China. I would see if Bando makes something that would work.

Thanks, I didn’t know that. I’ll check out Bando. The Gates is under $100.

The Powermatic part is around $300. I wonder where it’s made…

I just checked and this Gates is made in Mexico. Wonder how that compares to China? lol

I would not pay $300 for the belt when you can buy aftermarket for $50 to $100!

I picked up a Bando from Zoro

Post some results/impressions if you don't mind; I'm about to replace the belt on my 1200.

I bought D and D power drive belts for two 1150s, they work great.
