Are they flat belts or v belts? If v belts get cogged ones. They work better on small diameter pulleys.
Google kevlar v belts and you get dozens of his.

Don't bother. Expensive for less life. Been there done that.

The ones I need are V belts, and are ribbed, not cogged.
I was hoping someone had done business with a certain company & had experience with that company, good or bad.

They are commonly used in riding mowers and other industrial uses that are rough on belts doe to engaging and disengaging. They aren't much different in price than other belts if bought online but not needed for a lathe.
