733s planer thicknesser tooth belt

[graham winters]

Hi can anyone help me to find a new tooth belt for a 733s all sites are saying no longer available.

Have you got the original belt? You can probably take measurements off that to determine the type and length.

yes i do have the old belt ,i only brought the planer the other day and have noticed the belt is shredding .taking it to a dealer is prob going to be the only way .just seems so bad that the belts are no longer available being that they will wear . :

You would've paid through the nose for it through a spares stockist anyway, at least 250% more than from a regular belt supplier. Have a look on the belt for any letters and numbers which might signify the length and type.

cheers i will soon as take the cover off. from what i can see the belt looks in a state hopefully there are numbers on it although i have a part number but thatswhere it all ends.As you say getting it from a belt stockist is prob better than dewalt dealers.the machine is brilliant but no use without a belt.

DeWalt 733 thicknesser belt:

External circumference measures about 355 mm.
Outside diameter approx. 113 mm.
Width nominally 14.6 mm.
Thickness approx. 4mm.
No other markings on the belt.

I think Graham is on about the 733S which is the Dewalt planer thicknesser (I guess the S is for surface planer?) rather than just a thicknesser like the 733.

Ah! My mistake, thanks for pointing that out.
