Can't find belt for jointer...

[Trey1984]

I have a 6" Delta open stand jointer and the belt broke. I've gone to all the local auto parts stores trying to find one and no luck. I stay in Sanford NC. Does anyone know where I would have any luck finding one. Thanks in advance

Model of the jointer? Looks like the replacement part could be 49-271…..17 bucks on Amazon.

Auto parts store couldn't match it up with anything?

That's where I went to get a new belt for my old Craftsman jointer.

Counter guy just measured it and got me something close that worked

That's what I used on my old Jet jointer and Belsaw planer. I'd show a pic, but I don't have them anymore.

The belt appears to be marked A-787. That seems to me to mean the belt is an A section (4L) and 787mm length. Since it is an A section, the nominal length would be 31" or an A31. If you're looking at 4L sizing, then it would be a 4L-33.
Put a mark on the belt and put a starting mark on the bench. Roll the belt along the surface until the mark rotates around and make another mark. Observe the distance.
If the belt is broken in half, its easy to measure length.
The outside length will translate to a 4L belt since that's the way they are sized. For an industrial A section, subtract two inches because its the center of the belt that picks up the length measurement.
Since that belt is of Asian origin, it may or may not conform to standards. It is marked as a variable speed belt but that may only be the wrappings. The widest part should be close to 1/2". If the jointer was bought used, then who knows what a previous owner decided to do about the belt.
All open stand Delta jointers are not the same so that descriptor is too vague. A stock number such as 37-190, 37-220, etc. would be helpful.
The 37-190 uses belt stock number 1340179

For what its worth, here's the delta belt sizes.

Round the numbers and you'll be OK.

Tractor Supply has lots of belts and a doohickey to put the belt in to measure it.
