Thanks, I'm going to go with the 3/8 size. I'll let you know how they work
out.

Can someone help me order the correct size link belt for my 1023S table
saw.
It has the oe 3 belt pulley and original belts which are 3/8" wide. Do I
order the 3/8" link belt or the 1/2"? Most of the websites that sell
link
belt tend to steer you to the 1/2" size. So the question is, should one
replace 3/8" v-belts with 3/8" link belts? Thanks.

I had difficulty using and sizing (Powertwist} link belts until I read
this:

Since using this approach I have not had any issues determining the
appropriate link configuration for a specific
application, and have not had to retension any belts after install either,
but I did check just to make sure. Some have
been in use for three years plus. regards, Joe
