Where can you buy drive belts for a table saw?

[dvddvd]

Giving my Axminster AW12BSB2 Table Saw a clean and noticed the motor drive belt is cracked and on last legs.

Where can you buy one? Would prefer to get one for the specific table saw instead of trying to measure everything..thanks

P.s I've messaged axminster still awaiting a reply

Drive belts are a cheap commodity item.
Assuming it's a trapezium (blunted wedge) shaped belt, there are a few standard sizes for the cross section and lengths increase in again a fairly standard set of sizes.
Wind the belt all the way round by hand and look see if the details are printed on the outside of the belt.
Assuming they are, you can buy online from bearingboys, simplybearings, engineersmate, and a host of other sellers.
If Axminster want too much for their belt (and sometimes saws use 2 or 3 belts in parallel) you will have to measure it. The width of the wide, non rubbing, outer face will translate into a size like an SPA (10mm) or SPZ (13mm) cross section.

This has more than enough info:

The length you just have to measure. If the belt is wrecked, just cut it and stretch it out to measure.

Give a thought to whether the saw is set to the shortest or longest adjusting position when you measure the existing belt and pick the nearest standard length replacement.

And when you do determine the specification and length of the belt, write it down somewhere inside the machine so it can be seen by the next person.

"Messaging" Axminster as in the original post is different to, and likely to be less successful than "calling" Axminster as suggested above.

When you have a named someone on the end of a phone to whom you are actually speaking, there are many more options open to you as means to obtaining an answer.

Two weeks ago I had to replace the belt that drives the scribing blade in my Axminster saw, I phoned them, got through within a few minutes, gave the model number of my saw and received a new belt three days later. Absolutely no issues, good customer service from Axminster.

A major brand v belt, 13mm wide SPA Section sizes from smallest upto 23-25" circumference will cost you £4.20 to £4.50 plus VAT and post. Axy were making an ok profit on probably cheaper belts but that's a fair price.
