This should be simple, but it isn't turning out to be.

We have the same mill as this one: http://www.smidgie.com/928/machineshop/comet/index.html, bought at auction from Canada, and it came with a very bad variable speed belt. The timing belt is fine.

Can anyone recommend the right belt for a 5HP 10x50 NMTB40 head? It looks exactly like the one in the link, except the taper.

The belt was a 2330V338, and we replaced it with the same one, but it seems too long to me.
 
Google "Mighty Comet" and you can see several dealers who sell them. Have a model and serial number ready when you call.

Is model and serial number all that relevant?

To my eye, import BP clones come in two basic flavors: medium and large. This is a large (NMTB40 spindle, 10x50 table, variable speed). What else is there to know?
