2207 forum posts 210 photos	I think the OP is showing a photo of a Fenner Powertwist, which I've not used. Similar styles of belts are available from Myford/RDG in black and white, but are just plain plastic with no embedded cloth reinforcement; I found both slipped badly, though I seem to recall that black worked better than white. I have also used T-nut on the Warco 720 Myford clone, but due to its deeper section I couldn't select the lowest of the headstock speeds easily as it fouled the casting; I'm not sure about the genuine S7 as I was using an original Brammer belt on that. I recently bought some of this off ebay, which works well, and I'd happily buy again, unlike the black or white stuff.. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174456949982 Make sure you read the instructions from Fenner, regarding rotation direction and tensioning. In spite of it officially being unidirectional, I've not had a problem running the Warco 720, or my genuine S7 in reverse, as this tends to be for less torque demanding jobs. Bill
