Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / August 2005Need belt for dental drill - any suggestions??
I need a replacement drive belt for an old belt driven dental drill. It's the type with a drive motor and lots of pulleys and arms going to the actual drill. (Foredom Model #9). Factory parts are no longer avail. Any suggestions? I'm guessing it's a continuous loop about 1/8" diam and about 5' long. is this to work on patients?? Yes, you'll be my first patient. Go you need gas or is Novacain enough? >is this to work on patients?? > I need a replacement drive belt for an old belt driven dental drill. > It's the type with a drive motor and lots of pulleys and arms going to > the actual drill.

I've ordered belts for my old Emesco engine from Schein. If you can't locate it, I'll have a look at some of my catalogs tomorrow when I'm in the office.

Don't worry about the brand, most of them were made the same manufacturer rebranded to Foredom, Emesco, Demco, Buffalo or ??????? The key is the length of the belt. If they are not in a current catalogue one comes up on eBay every couple of weeks.

Ask for a "jack rabbit" belt. -- W_B Take out the G'RBAGE wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com Thanks for all the replies. I've found the belts from various dental suppiers. Now my challenge is getting them to sell to me since I'm not a dentist. Patterson Dental told me to "take a hike". Schein let me order online but I'm still waiting to see if they actually ship my belt. It seems like all these suppliers want to pre-screen their customers. In case Schein rejects my order, does anyone know of a dental supplier that sells to anyone via a credit card? >Thanks for all the replies. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >In case Schein rejects my order, does anyone know of a dental supplier >that sells to anyone via a credit card? Well dental supply companies generally only sell to dentists. It largely depends on what you are ordering. You may want to make friends with a local dentist or dental lab technician. -- W_B Take out the G'RBAGE wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com > In case Schein rejects my order, does anyone know of a dental supplier > that sells to anyone via a credit card? Change the first line of your mailing address to "Dave's Dental Lab". You can thank me later, Vaughn |
