5 forum posts 3 photos	Hi all, I have what I believe to be a CJ0618 lathe Or chester 920. The drive belt has snapped its a vbelt although very small only 4.5mm wide at its widest and approximately 675mm long. Looks to be made by Gates but I'm struggling to find a replacement. Anyone know the correct number or type or even a supplier? Thanks in advance

Not all these lathes are exactly the same, and IIRC there were two different length belts depending on type of motor fitted. The Chester 920 which I had used a 5m710, but this was very tight on some speeds. A slightly longer one would have allowed the tensioner to work properly in all positions.
