There are OODLES of conveyors to choose from on ebay.
Don't expect to find the exact one that you need, but look for one that is close enough.
Maybe it sticks out a bit further than needed?
Live with it, or cut it down and weld it back together....

The factory used Mayfran, back in the day. We had two LC-30, both with Mayfran heavy duty conveyors because of the heavy hogging we were doing. Most convey makers have machine patterns and shouldn't be too hard to get one.
Machine came out of Ferrulmatic in Wayne and had a Enomoto when we got it which was probably their second one. We replaced the Enomoto with an unbranded one a few years ago, and now looking for a third one. Tip to myself: keep the conveyor running…

There is an outfit in Michigan - near Grand Rapids I think - that seems to cannibalize a lot of CNC machines.
They post their stuff on Ebay.
They would be your most likely place to find an OEM conveyor.
But in the case of an Okuma - I would expect the conveyor to wear out before the machine.
That is deffinately the case on my Hardinge lathes.
You may find a cheaper source from anyone other than the OEM supplier for that machine - should they have a service agreement with Okuma.
(if you want to buy new)
If you want one from the OEM source, you may want to actually measure it all up and send the measurements in to the conveyor company, rather then give them a make/model of the machine, or a ser# for the conveyor. Kind'a like a bearing with a ser# that is tied to GM or Ford, or whatnot. THAT bearing may be $50, but another bearing with the same bounderies with a commercial ser# will be $20, b/c of service agreements.
Maybe that is an issue in conveyors?
Maybe not?
But I know that is the case with way covers.

Machinery values?
Also, if you have a contact at Morris, they may know of one.

My pleasure! I've used them many times in the past, and always with good results.

Can you give us a ballpark price?
I could really use a new conveyor, and - I could use one built a little stronger than a Turbo.
