Contact Axminster customer service, I think they stock spares for their version and I think they are all pretty much the same but with different livery depending who you bought it from.

Hi Mick, I have a friend who works in a place that specialises in manufacturing transmission systems. They sell belts and other such parts as part of the business. If you can find the type of belt, size and everything I can have a word and see if they stock it. Sadly I don't even get mates rates so it would be full price. If Axi falls through send me a message and I'll get back to you.

It sounds as if you need the notoriously brittle drive cones. If so, I hope @Paul Hannaby's suggestion helps.

If it is just the belt, there are loads of online places. I got one for about 1/3 of the price for an axminster one when I had to change mine.

Otherwise , I guess it is eBay / marketplace for a dead lathe to take parts off.

Thanks all. I’ve found two suppliers at the moment one is £45 the other £67 for the same thing .I’m at the moment trying to find the Chinese manufacturers of these.

Will it be cheaper by the time you pay postage and maybe import duty and vat ?
I would go for the £45 unit.
