Re: Okuma LT300 X-axis belt breakage
Belt update:
The HP belt from BANDO does last more than 3X the standard belt in our situation on this machine. I think it only costs about $5 more so it is definitely worth the money. Still a poor cover design to get to it, but the PITA happens much less often!
Their delivery has gotten much better too. Last time I ordered it, I had it next day even without RED shipping. (CHI-MKE) Still suggest to order 2.
I don't recommend getting it through the distributor. Ours only caries the standard belt at over 400% markup and they charge you red ship on top of that from their non-local "hub"! Even after multiple requests to stock it, they still will not. So much for "local support"!
Best regards,
Experience is what you get just after you needed it.
