Years ago I gave up on leather belts, after clamping “new leather belting” that was rotten. I went down and bought fan belts, they come in different widths and legends. You can cut a slit in your table top from hole to hole and use a fan belt. It is fast to take off and on and I have never had to replace one on my commercial machines in 20 years. However on my boot machine I had to "hunt" a belt long and narrow enough to fit, and still split it to get it on.
