Default Band Saw Link Belts??? Drill Press??

I replaced the stock belts on my Jet DP with link belts and the
difference in noise and felt vibration was significant. It doesn't
drill any better, but it's sure nicer to use when it's not whininhg at
me.

BTW, I also put some of that sticky backed foam weatherstripping
around the edge of the belt enclosure door. That cut out a bunch of
noise as well.

Regards.

I am contemplating replacing the belts on my Delta 14" Band Saw and
(2) on my Floor Model Drill Press with the Link belts I use on my
SEARS table saw with such great results.

I was curious to hear if anyone has tried them on either thier BS or
DP and what their experience(s) might have been.
