That's also a foot longer than most link belts.

I've got them on my band saw, they work really well... I want to build a wide drum sander, I could use another one of those...

Do these belts really work on cutting down the vibration? I would greatly appreciate your experience on these. I would really like one for my TS. Thanks.

I have them on my Lathe and drill press.. They work great..

The HF belts are 1/2"w and made by Jason Industrial..
A US made product at HF? who would have thought of that.

If you need other sizes they make 3/8, 1/2, 5/8 and 7/8 belts.
The other sizes can be found on Ebay easy enough.

Yes. Regular rubber v-belts will take a set, that is, they get stuck in the shape they're sitting in, causing a little bounce as they run over the pulleys. Link belts are like a chain, each link hinges with the next, so it remains flexible.

Depends on what is causing your vibration... But yes, if you have a V belt that is, well... has a bump to it like many do, this will cure that...

I like that they grab better than a V belt. The stock V belt on my HF band saw slipped, a LOT... This thing never slips...

I have the H.F. belt on my contractor table saw for about two years and never a problem with it . With the old belt it would vibrate when cold till it ran about five minutes.

I put one on my TS, huge improvement!! Took the vibration out completely. I even went as far as doing the start up/shut down nickel test with no problems.
