5FT Power Twist V Belt 1/2-Inch x 5 Feet A Type, Adjustable Link Belt Perfect for Lathes, Table Saws and Other Woodworking Tools (Red)

The media could not be loaded. Great product, made to the length I need for building my project.

I purchased this belt based on the customer reviews. I though this was a novel concept and decided to give it a try. I have not been disappointed. My experience with power transmission belts has been primarily rubber v-belts. Going with a material of this nature would be a bit outside my wheelhouse. It has proven to work wonderfully. I am using this belt on my 1960's Rockwell-Delta wood lathe outfitted with a 1hp motor running on 230v AC single phase. It doesn't vibrate like you would think and it doesn't create any more noise than a traditional rubber belt.I had to reduce the belt length from 60" to 38"; doing so was fairly intuitive in spite of not having any instructions. The material is slippery and presented a bit of a challenge to my smooth faced pliers.My one concern is this belt does not fit completely down in the pully. It seems to be just wider than the old belt and rides a little higher on the flange. I will watch belt/pulley wear closely for the first few hours.

This belt works great. I have an old table saw that has a slight twist in the motor mount. This caused a lot of shaking while in use. This belt removed that and now the saw cuts great.One note is that the belt will stretch. I made it as small as I could to start and it stretched once the weight of the motor was applied. I kept reducing it by a link or two after each stretch and now it is good.

This product reduces vibration common with normal "V" belts and works perfectly. If you haven't installed one, it would be a good idea to take a look at a couple of videos. It's not hard, but knowing how to do it beforehand is a plus.

Takes a few minutes to adjust to size. It really makes my table saw quieter and run smoother.

This works well for my old Craftsman contractor saw. It smoothed out and quieted the saw. I lot of that is because the belt does not get a "set" or bend from sitting idle for a long time. No scream when starting up either.

I just installed on my 75 Ford tractor and to it's a God send. Saved me from tearing down the whole front end of the tractor just to change a belt. will update post

I installed this belt on my table saw, and it does run very smooth. However, it slips when under significant load, even when well tensioned. I switched back to a standard V-belt for the table saw. I may use this on tools that require less torque. I also noticed that when adjusted to fit well initially, it will stretch quite a bit after it runs for a while and you need to remove a link to compensate. It’s generally a good quality belt, but be aware that you won’t get as much torque out of it as a standard belt.
