Is there any sort of supply place that's likely to stock the stuff? I've
looked at mail order, and I'm having problems both with the high price of
S&H and with the long wait times. I'd rather just go buy some somewhere,
even if I have to drive to Roanoke, or try to catch some the next time I'm
in Columbia, Charlotte, Fayetteville, Richmond or some place like that. I
could try to hit the Harbor Freight store north of Florence if I happen to
go that way next week, but I'd really prefer to get the sander back up now,
while I have a weekend to finish up some projects my son and I are working
on, though I guess in a pinch I can just clamp the belt in place and move
the work against it...
Ideas? Not having my sander is really starting to bug me, and I'm getting
close to doing the fiscally irresponsible thing and just going out to buy a
whole new machine. If I had $90 in my pocket right now, I'd have already
done that, bills be damned.

Look in the yellow pages under the headings: bearing, belt and chain
I'm in Las Vegas, just did a quick check, and there are at least two in each
of those catagories.

WW Grainger has it, as do Harbor Freight and any number of woodworker
stores.
