KO Lee cutter grinder belts

So, recently purchased a KO Lee Tool & Cutter Grinder (B360 model). Works fine and I'm enjoying having it. However: it's the older flat belt type, I only got one belt and 6 or 8 flat belt pulleys with it. The one belt I got has seen better days and I'm thinking I should find more flat belts or convert it to a more common (available) belt type. Anyone know of a source for those flat belts or suggestions for a type of belt to convert it to?
TIA
 
There's these, key is a super smooth joint so it doesn't create vibration and they are excellent

Also Habasit who many would say are the best. I've got a few and they are great.

check out Winky ..... this guy knows flat belts, will sell you the Habasit, joined or unjoined, and in one video has a very cleaver design for putting the taper on the belt joint, as well as a how-to on joining them

Thanks for that !
I think I'd just have "Winky" make up some belts for me - I have enough other projects and his pricing seems relatively cheap.
Now, to see if he'll ship to Canada.
 
You are welcome.

I agree with minimizing more projects, but so often you have to thread the belt through stuff before joining it like on a lathe headstock.
 
I have a older 9 inch southbend with a flat belt. I sourced a automotive serpentine belt, it has great traction and is super smooth.
 
I got some flat belts for my tool post grinder from The Belt Shop in Edmonton.

I received the belts I ordered from The Belt Shop in Edmonton. I talked to Myron there and gave him the width and length supplied by Gerrit and told him it was for a Dumore tool post grinder. I hadn't yet seen the belt that Rudy posted but the belts he supplied are the same type. They are thinner and more pliable than the old belt.

when i had a sb 9 i used a serpentine belt from the wreckers, did a scarf joint and glued it together in the machine at the right length, worked like a charm
