I recently bought an old bench top metal lathe but it needed a v belt.
I found

The one I wanted cost £2.60 delivered

Yes lots of online belt suppliers around this sort of price point. The key thing to avoid is buying these sort of standard parts as OEM spares where the prices tend to be extortionate.
Same holds true for bearings.

I found these excellent -
https://drivebeltsolutions.co.uk/I emailed because my bandsaw wasn't listed on their site - they came back quickly with the link to the one I needed. Less than £15 for two so I got a spare.

A quick tip on belts:
Flat belts can be less easy to find but you can run both Poly Vee and timing belts on their backs and there is a far wider selection available.

I’ve always bought V belts from Motor Factors including Halfords.

I've only bought belts from specialists like those recommended. I've seen too much grumbling online about Halfords staff insisting on knowing what make and model of car a belt is for before they will even tell you they haven't got any...

They had them on racks the last time I bought one. Just take the old belt and compare it with what they’ve got.
