I have an old "Skil" model 324 belt sander, and I would like to get some sanding belts for it. The one that was on it measured 4 1/2" x 26 1/8" on the outside. I am guessing I need one 26" long, because this one could have stretched, and also I measured it on the outside of the belt (medium grit). I don't know how accurate the measurement needs to be, and I don't have an owners manual for this machine. It is a neat old sander, the motor sits parallel with the belt, and it is gear driven, just like the side winder skil saws. I am guessing this is from the 50's, and it weighs a ton. Thanks for all comments!
