I have an old Sears 6 x 48 belt sander and welcome suggestions for sourcing the belts. I've had good luck with belts from Grainger, but would like to find something a bit less expensive.
On the other hand... she had warts... opps, I mean I've also tried Harbor Freight belts which might be OK for woodworking. For metal working, they are a good bad example and a good reason to go back to Grainger.
Additionally, I replaced the upper roller once as the bearings are rather close together. When the roller wallowed (is that a word) out the bearing bores this time, I made bearing carriers and pressed them into the ends of the roller to then discover the roller wasn't round. I'll make the whole roller this time.
Your thoughts and recomendations please.

Check with your local machine tool supply, if not them then Enco. They will have the good name brands and the import belts.
If it's not nailed down, it's mine.
If I can pry it loose, it's not nailed down.
