Actually you measure the inside as that is what touches the pulleys. There
should be some kind of writing on the outside of the belt telling you the size
of the belt. It's in belt talk so it won't be real; apparent. Unless you're
going to order online, just take the belt along with you. If you are ordering
online, what I do now is take a piece of rope. wrap the rope around the pulley
and I put a pair of vice grips at the point where the rope overlaps the end.
Then measure from the vice grips to the end and that will get you pretty close.

Thanks Bob and Lenny. I assume you measure the outer part of the V, is that
right?

You can soup up any V type belt tool with a twist link. They aren't supposed
to work on the serpentine style belts or so I've been told.

Lenny: are these belts specific to Grizzly or can they be used on other
brands of tools, say Delta drill presses. Mine is a Delta and it does vibrate a
little bit.
