    Rock Tumbler belt replacement

    http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=90979

    Anybody that has one of these things knows that the first thing that goes is the belt.

    Has anyone found a decent replacement belt that works? Maybe a vacuum cleaner belt or something like that? I tried a couple of thick rubber bands but they broke too. I superglued the original belt and it seems to be holding, but I suspect that it's just a matter of time before it breaks again. Thanks.

    I agree.Wide rubber bands work even better than the belts.

    Do you think the diameter is big enough?

    Elsewhere, someone said a Dirt Devil vacuum cleaner belt works if you pre-stretch it a little bit, by hand.
