John Graser asks:


I put a link belt on my Delta Contractor's saw about a year ago. I've
noticed that the saw now tends to bog down more easily when cutting thick
stock than it used to. Do link belts stretch over time, requiring the
removal of some links periodically?

That stretchiness is what makes them so smooth. I''d pull a link or 2 to see if
that helps, if you've checked your blade for suitability and sharpness.
