I'm chiming in recommending Klingspor with the caveat that they are set up to handle commercial accounts, not the retail online store as they present at their US website. They have historically offered free shipping on order pricepoints, last I checked was $300. Single belts were pricey custom-made if they weren't already a catalog sku, but any widebelts sold in sets of 10 they?used to discount substantially, sometimes in assortments.There are also a variety of abrasives and substrates to choose from, as well as belt joints, and if you call in the phone line it's often someone knowledgeable and helpful because the online options are not the whole story. I'd bet your joints would be fine with a #3 or #4 in most cases, I prefer reversible options, and most abrasives recommended will be either PS20 aluminum oxide on paper or PS21 aluminum zirconia on paper. Paper is my understanding the higher quality choice for higher quality machines specifically when tolerances get tight and grits get fine. My WBS specs to use ONLY paper media.

I think I have 2 new?extra belts for my North State (Renzetti),?if you are interested… Klingspor; though it may cost more to get them to you than they’re worth. Probable replacement is the?SCM DMC SD 10.
By the way, I’m also planning to get the Powermatic 2244, and would appreciate any thoughts you, or the group has.
Thanks.
