344260480 supersedes older part numbers: 7232017354
Original Metabo flat drive belt — part no. 344260480 — designed for the HC 260 K and HC 260 M planer (listed for the HC 260 C 2.20 WNB).
This is the flat feed/drive belt used on the planer’s feed pulley assembly: a narrow flat belt approximately 18 mm wide with a working length commonly shown around 547 mm and a thin profile (~2.0 mm), sold under the same Metabo reference and cross‑referenced to 7232017354 on parts lists.
Fits/example models: Metabo HC 260 C (including HC 260 C 2.20 WNB) and HC 260 K variants where the parts diagram shows type number 344260480 — this belt replaces the flat drive belt used for the feed mechanism. It's an original Metabo replacement part made to restore smooth, even feed performance and correct pulley engagement on the planer.
If you need a single genuine Metabo part to get your machine running again, this flat belt is the exact feed‑drive belt called out on the HC 260 parts schematic and is one of the common parts for power tools you’ll want when repairing the feed drive.
