Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: drive belt idler

Tom,

I deal with Mcmaster-Carr alot and if they dont have it, that doesnt mean that it doesnt exist or they cant get it for you. Call and talk to one of their support people, they can find anything for you. But, they know if you are talking to them you are desperate. So watch out for the unusually stiff price. I'd look around, I'm sure someone makes them in different increments than mcmaster. Call a machine repair outfit in your area and ask them where they get their belts.

That is where I have gotten all my components so far. The mistake I made
was I thought that I could get a belt of any length I needed. Their
calculator will figure out a belt size for you but does not tell you that it
is not available!!
