I can run may table saw 20 minutes before the belt even starts to warm up.
True, it does lessen after a few minutes. It's still very convenient to be
able to start and cut.

You are correct, I have the bad habit of thinking everyone live here in
So.Cal. Would not just running your machine for a few minutes to warm-up
the belt serve the same purpose?

VS. belts hold shape when not used often enough or the belt is cold.
Hence,
vibration in the blade\machine. A Link-Belt ends that vibration.

Why don't you just put on a good quality V-belt. I don't quite
understand
this fascination of using an product that was originally
designed to be used as an emergency fan belt with limited life
expectancy
to
operate machinery. As an aside, quality belts do not stretch
measurably.
Sorry John. If the automotive and most other serious machine
industries
can
rely on them I think the would be the best choice for your contrator
saw.

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?
