Rikon Mini Belt ?

Mike Gould

Infrequent poster here. But, weekly browser :-)

I tried the search feature here but don't see anything relevant.

I somehow managed to destroy my Rikon 70-100 Mini-Lathe belt while conducting a demo last fall.

I was about to order a new one from Woodcraft when I decided to see if there was any kind of upgrade to the OEM Nylon Belt.

Looking at the Rikon website I see they offer a Nylon and a Rubber Version.

Nylon 70-995

Rubber 70-996

Being a Sunday and I can't call them.....

Which do you think is a better belt?

This is my small travel lathe and I don't use it much. Maybe once a month.

Thanks,

--Mike---

Just joking here, but since you shredded it last Fall, you can't wait till tomorrow to call Rikon? Sorry I can't help, just thought it was humurous.
