Please can someone advise me how to fit a new drive belt to the above machine, there seems to be no adjuster to fit belt?? I'm really stuck on this one.
 
I dont know if any of the info contained in this OLD thread is of any use ...

I see that there is a listing on Axminsters new site for a manual for the Perform Bandsaw - CCBB but it has a dead link, I would imagine a quick email to them may get you a manual. They are usually very helpful.

A few years ago I fitted a Powertwist belt to my band-saw. Easy to fit, quieter, less vibration and after a lot of use no sign of wear at all.

I just cut the old one off, measured the length and bought a suitable piece of Powertwist which, being segmented, can then be fitted to the perfect tension with no need of an adjuster. Quick and easy :)

http://www.fennerdrives.com/powertwist-plus/ is one source. There are other suppliers and other makes of this type of belt.
