My HF 8x12 lathe arrived yesterday. I spent a couple hours cleaning, lubing and mounting the lathe on my bench. When it came time to put the belts on, I was VERY suprised to see that the toothed belt was as thin as it is. Is this a high failure rate item? I contacted Harbor freight and they say the belt is on back order. So if this is in fact a high failure rate item I may want to order a new one now, while my lathe is still in working order otherwise it will be weeks for a new belt to show up and a few weeks is too long to have my lathe down . Is there a heavier duty belt I can buy from somewhere? I am not docking the lathe, it seems to work great (My lathe tools have not arrived in the mail yet, but I did drill a 1/2 inch hole in a piece of mild steel round stock using my tailstock chuck.) It just seems like this may turn out to be a weak link. Thanks ahead of time for any help you guys may be able to give me.
