Hi Noriek and welcome to the forum.
Is this what you're looking for ?

Hi Noriek
Welcome to the forum. Wasn't sure if you meant by 'Minitech is not available' that they had closed down or not. The Minitech in Brendale is closed down, but it was sold to a guy in Canberra who still runs it. Try these links on the website http://esvc002322.swp0002ssl.server-secure.com/ssl/find.asp?q=belt and http://esvc002322.swp0002ssl.server-secure.com/ssl/dept.asp?id=157

Welcome to the Forum,
Keep us posted on your knifemaking.
There a few here that make knives.

Good luck with your belt spare part.

Hi Phaser
Thanks for info, will look into. The belt I had had disintergrated, have to go by othere users descriptions and perhaps count teeth on both pullys , distance work out no of teeth and pitch. Have now also seen some users have replaced motor with a 3 phase with variable speed drive, looks like a good mod to do, but need the belt first to do other project first.
