Sold by various importers including Axminster, Chester, Warco, etc. The "920", "CT-918" lathe and other Model Numbers - a Chinese-made lathe that was, in effect, a developed copy of the Emco Compact 8.. This is a narrow, 5 mm wide V-belt - and is normally tensioned by a lever on the headstock. This belt is a top-quality, USA-made product.
Motor to countershaft and countershaft to headstock belts of the NuT-Link Type in a Z-Section. Link belts help to reduce the vibration normally passed from a single-phase motor to the lathe - and was a fitting often used by Myford Service engineers to "quieten" a noisy machine. On the Super 7 and ML7R, the T-link belt is highly effective on the drive from motor to countershaft.
PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY: The only PowerTwist belt needed on the Super 7 and ML7R is an "A" section from the countershaft to the headstock. The use of this belt guarantees that the lowest speed will be available as, when fitted with the metal-pin NuT-link there may not be enough room between the inner face of the headstock and the largest pulley on the main spindle.
The correct, high-quality, UK or EU-manufactured flat-backed belt with 5 multi-V grooves on the inside to fit late-model Coronet and Record "Major" wood turning lathes and the multi-function machines based on this machine.
The earlier Major used an ordinary V-drive belt and this can be ordered here: https://store.lathes.co.uk/parts/coronet-major-lathe-v-belt

The correct high-quality drive belts for Myford Mystro wood-turning lathes.
There are two belts:
10 mm wide for the standard machine and 20 mm wide for the variable-speed model. Click the down arrow in the box below to select the one you need.
Emcomat 7, 7L, 8.4, 8.6 and V8 lathes: drive belt, toothed type 1-inch (25mm) wide. Unfortunately, this belt is now out of production - but the 3/4" (20mm) belt for the earlier version of this lathe fits and works just as well - but clearly, if the lathe is hard used, will not last as long.
For the Myford ML8 lathe the new, improved metal-pin T-link belting is ideal. It's a sectional belt so no dismantling is needed to fit it. For lathes on the maker's stand 1.2 metres is the length needed. If mounted on a home-made bench with a thick wooden top, 1.3 metres is usually sufficient. The width required is 1/2" (13 mm) = an "A" section.
Minilor TR1 lathe toothed and V drive belts (the V-belt has been replaced by a Swiss-made round belt in a high-grip Polycord) but the special toothed belts are available.
Although these belts are all the correct length and tooth pitch, they vary slightly in width.

After some difficulty obtaining reliable and correctly-made supplies of Emco Unimat belts we have decided to offer instead the special Swiss-made drive belt we sell for light industrial applications. It's widely used on all sorts of drives and we now sell lots for watch and clockmaker's lathes - and of course various kinds of Unimat. It's long-lasting and very reliable.
Unfortunately, these belts are now very difficult to obtain with minimum orders and expensive with post from the EU. As an alternative, I suggest using a 1.1 metre length of 7 mm Polycord round belting. It's a special Swiss-made machine-tool drive type and very effective and can be joined into the lengths needed for a Toyo ML360. It can be ordered here with full joining instructions provided..

Boxford VSL Boxford Lathe Vari-speed belt. Unfortunately, the exact belt is no longer available but one close can be supplied. In order to obtain the whole speed range, this will need 1/4" (6mm) packing piece between cross-shaft and hangers to increase the distance to the motor. However, this is not essential as only a little of the slowest speed will be lost if the belt is fitted "as-is". Sent insured by Royal Mail Special Delivery.
The correct variable-speed drive belt for the Little John Mk.1 and Mk.2 Models. These belts are high-quality, industrial-grade belts made in Europe. An installation tip: The manual suggests swivelling the layshaft housing about bolt 'D'. However, a better solution is to remove the grub screw (at the rear) securing the shaft to the housing; the housing can then be slid off the layshaft allowing it to move further, thus giving enough clearance to remove & refit the belt.
The correct variable-speed drive belt for the Raglan "5-inch Lathe" These belts are high-quality, industrial-grade belts made in Europe. installation tip: The manual suggests swivelling the layshaft housing about bolt 'D'.
