Well as the title says where can i get cheap drive belts for thumbler's AR-12 tumbler that last at least a year? I have looked at some online places, i have tryed the rock shed but i was not pleased with them (I ordered 5 lids for my tumbler, they charged over $7 for shipping when it cost them $3.19... and i have sent 3 emails regarding drive belts and have not got a reply back in over a month)
I Think my drive belt is going to go out in a week or so.. maybe also get a drive roller.
If anyone knows where to get some cheap or if you have some spares please reply / contact me asap.
Thanks
Glenn

Maybe they add a "handling charge". I'm no longer a Thumler's dealer but the belts listed for a whole $5 ea. when I was. I discounted their equipment but never belts and really low priced items unless it was a quantity order. The belts if properly adjusted, pulleys lined up, no oil or grit on belt should last a long time. Any Thumler's dealer should carry them or you can call True Square directly. You may not find them at a discount anywhere. Rock Shed and Kingsley North are two highly respected dealers.

If you have a Kirby dealer close by take your old belt in, they can match you up with a good belt.

Kirby is an old vacuum cleaner brand. Tony is old school.

The best Place for inexpensive is The O-ring store. . belt go by sizes. look on the BUNA 70D catagory top tap on left column. EPDM 70 duro and use 3/16 size . I believe it's #343 ' 343 EPDM 70 DURO . . I you like your belt a tad smaller use #342 size
