I need to pick up a new belt for a different tool, but i was wondering if anyone had used the link belts. From what I can tell from looking at them, people say they work smoother and run better than a regular belt. Has anybody on here found that to be true?

And if my belt on teh shopsmith needs to get replaced in the future (as I am sure it will), would this be an alternative or would it be better to stick with the belt for the SS?

Thanks

Nathan

I have the green one from Harbor Freight I use on my 1939 Dunlap lathe. No issues with it so far.

I had enough left over to use on my SS when the time comes for belt replacement.
