Feed Belts For Belsaw

[dail_h]

Finaly gettin around to settin up my Belsaw that I bought coupla yrs ago.Am missing the drive belt for feedworks, and the forward belt. Know several guys here run Belsaws, so thought would ask what size to get. Know they were there when moved the mill , not now tho.
Thanks guys

WOW!!! nearly sixty guys looked, n no one has the belt size . Who'da thunk it

I'd a thunk those 60+ didn't have the answer so didn't respond. 

I wouldn't have thunk those 60+ had a Belsaw and knew the size but didn't want to let you in on their secret. ;)

Hang in there. The right one will likely come along with your answer.

Have you sent PM's to some of the Belsaw members with your question? Might be quicker if in a rush.

You need to be a little more specific about which drive you have.  Belsaw had a variety of drives from hand crank to flat belt to friction to v-belt.  One size does not fit all.  Pics will help.

Mine was a later model m14,,,has v belt drive on the feed

I've got a Belsaw M14 and mine uses a "B" size vee belt for the feed and reverse. One of them is 60" and the other is 66". The feedworks drive belt, from the mandrell, is 60". For that one it's best to buy a segmented belt so it can be replaced without removing the mandrell.

apm, ya beat me to it on the belt lengths. ..  this spring my lawnmower ate my feed belt..lol... as my mill is taken apart, sat outside and fell off.

I cant help as all the info I have shows flat belts and my Belsaw is converted to hyd moter running carrage drum

I'm in the same boat.  I switched over from flat belt to hydraulic and couldn't be happier 8)

Thanks guys , off to buy 66" belt, lol

I agree with APM on the belt. I use a segemented link belt (red) from the mandrell / feedworks. Easy to change and adjust.
