Hi, I have a Jet Midi Lathe Model 46-250 which I would like to find a source for parts, i.e. belts. I ordered belts on 8-11-04 from an 800 number which is now disconnected. The lathe is only used for light duty work and a new belt that was put on the lathe is already stretching. Is there a source for better quality belts for this lathe??
Thanks for any info sent,
R&B Thomas

It's a 3 groove belt, approx. 1/4 inch wide.
I had a similar problem a couple years ago with my Delta Midi - the belts look almost the same. But different colors. You might try your local Delta service depot a call.
If it's stretching, you're probably running it a bit too tight. But if you have a bad catch and let it slip much you will burn a flat spot, and that will weaken it.
