What a difference a belt makes!

I "upgraded" my PM Artisan today by replacing the worn V belt with a new PowerTwist link belt. WOW! What a difference! Smoother, quieter! Should have done that long ago. :icon_thum

Got the belt at Industrial Supply in Albemarle for $5.95/ft, which seemed OK to me based on pricing on some of the online joints. What do YOU think?

Oh yeah, did I mention that the saw shaft pulley was loose also? Reckon that could have contributed to the vibration?!!!:embaresse

:rotflm:

I've been putting off getting a twist link for my Delta drill press. Maybe I should get on that right away.

That is a great price and a great belt.
