Hey Nun,

Like what was said earlier you can get the belts made into any length you want but for odd sizes and a small run you may have to pay a tad more. When I lived near abilene texas a couple of us knifemaker had custom made belt grinders made by the same guy using a 2"X144" belt. We would get together and order our belts at the same time for a larger order to save a little cash. It wasn't that much more expensive but a little. We ordered from tru-grit then. Now I have a grinder from beaumont metal works and don't have to worry about custom ordering belts.
