Have just broken the toothed belt on my old Skil H100 handheld belt sander. Does anyone know of a source of spares for these older machines. Have had no luck websearching. I wonder if belts come in fairly standard lengths and tooth size. ? Am in UK but happy to pay postage from anywhere. Thanks. Bob.
Belts are usually all standard size. At least here in the US, a local bearing or power transmission shop can either sell you a new one or tell you you're out of luck.

Good luck! I asked a similar question some time back, and never have acquired a replacement for the belt.
I gather that you in the UK might have a much easier time finding one than I did. Most of the "Oh you just go down to the corner store and buy one" type posts were coming out of Europe. On this side of the pond, paying the tool manufacturer about 4X what I deemed the belt to be worth proved my only option, so I'm making do with a link belt until I can buy a new sander. A link belt just barely works in this (stationary) application, and probably would not work on a portable unit.
planer, I sourced a belt from Farnell in the UK
Good luck,
Ian.
