I'm replacing the drivebelt on my bandsaw..It's the ribbed type...A quick look in my engineering reference book tells me it's a PJ section type belt (the type with a load of small V ribs) it's length is denoted by the number in mm's....mine is a PJ 610 ..The bandsaw is made by SIP so I looked up their spares catalogue..And I got a shock to find the belt listed as "SIP61475 J belt" Price £35.63 thats $57 USD...anyway I searched up a local Engineering suppliers and got the same item there for £4.95....If I wasn't an engineering kind of guy I proberbly would have purchased it from SIP, and got well and truely ripped off
