2 forum posts	Hi Anyone out there know the dimensions of the belt for a Fobco 7/8 pillar drill? Mine has completely disintegrated, and all I can find on the web are bespoke ones costig £25-35. I think (but may be completely wrong) that they're in the A50-A55 range. Any advice gratefully received. Thanks

For example, if the outer measurement is 48-inches and you subtract two inches then A46 is the size.. Nit so easy when the belt is broken. Edited By Dave Halford on 03/11/2021 17:24:14

2 forum posts	Thank you all so much! I signed up very recently, and learned more in a couple of hours from your replies than after a couple of days googling and ringing round stockists etc,. A fascinating website.
