You want a power transmission belt like used in lawn equipment, washing machines, ect but an automotive belt will work in a pinch and get you back in business today.
The belts with the "teeth" are fully compatible, in theory they last longer by running cooler and run quieter, at least if the teeth have random spacing.

Thank you! I have a loaner drill press for the time being, until we got a new belt.
