Default Jet 1442 belt

I know that there are several 1442 users here and I am looking for some
advice. Mine seems to be slipping quite a bit even at low speed. I think
the belt may be worn/stretched. I have a new belt but I also know that it
is not the easiest job to change belts so I am looking for advice on using a
link belt instead of the v-belt. It appears that the v-belt is actually
about 3/8 inch in width and I know that it is possible to get 3/8" link belt
material. Could anyone advise me of a good supplier for the link belt and
any tips about mounting it. In other words where should the speed setting
be set when the new belt is installed? Any other information will be
helpful.
