Need help finding small "v" belt.

[g.corey74]

Googled, but found nothing for time spent. The 1/4 by 3 1/4" US Royal belt is for an old B+D orbital sander. Any one know who bought out US Royal belting?

Take a trip down to your local power transmission place. They should have no problems finding one.

I'm constantly amazed at what my local place keeps in-stock. They're crammed into two old barns. I hand them all kinds of odd-ball stuff and the old lady behind the counter always says "Be back in a minute".

They always have it in stock!

Check the MSC and the Grainger web sites. Both companies carry tons of pieces and parts stuff like that.

Definitely will want to check Mcmaster-Carr. They should have it, or if you want something local you can try an old vacuum cleaner or sewing machine repair shop.

I had to find some small v belts for my lathe, and found them at Mcmaster-carr.

Sometimes just using a large "O" ring will work for these applications.

Fleet Farm has a lot of different belts too.

Any industrial supplier that carrys bearing and belts will be able to help you...

Thanks guys, for the input.
I haven't had a chance to check ideas out yet.
I considered using an "o" ring earlier but the section dia. and i.d. combination didn't work. I would need a 1/4" sec. dia. with 2 3/4" i.d.. The smallest chart size for 1/4" is 4 1/2" i.d..

I have had luck with switch and other parts from this site. I see one belt for one sander is only $3.35.

Thanks DHS for the tool parts info.
I emailed the site with the numbers on the belt and measurements.

What model sander is it?

 

[g.corey74]

Sorry DHS, I thought I included it in my original post. It's an old chrome job, #44. A real work horse over the years.

Gates Rubber has an extensive cross reference for belts if all else fails.

 

[rsanter]

if its a black&decker, have you called the B&D or dewalt factory service centers?

I called the local B&D no. some years back and the gal said she couldn't find anything (?), so I gave up at the time.
I used the link from DHS above and emailed them with the info. If no luck there I'll find the B&D factory service center. I have checked Granger, Applied Maintenance America and MSC catalogs. Their narrow belts are 3/8". I also need to check McMasters Carr.

If you are not having any luck check with your local vacuum supply/repair shop. Most vacuums use small belts, they should be able to match one up for you.

Belt is probably not in much better shape than yours but there is a sander on ebay item # 330336409033 edit-sorry didn't look at the shipping lol
