For small Swiss built lathe power feed- Who sells miniature V belts ?

The power feed belt of a 1980's Schaublin 102N-VM that needs replacement. Suspect in the end I'll have to get one from Schaublin themselves, but curious if there might be a source for such in this country ?

The size is likely metric, but in inches aprox 3/16" top width and 1/8" depth of V...with steel core. The OD also has shallow serration similar to a timing belt but suspect that is only to help with flexibility as the serrations do not actually engage anything....it's the V that does the actual driving such that one without these serrations might work fine.

OD length aprox 20".

I suspect one of the tiny machine tool makers like Taig uses similar belts..in fact I called them and their's appear to be made by 3M but that's all I could glean from the conversation.

Try Little Machine Shop. They carry everything for small hobbyist lathes like Sherwin, Taig and Chinese versions. The belts are similar to what you describe.

It sounds like a 3m belt, e.g. as
