anyone tried link belts on their band saw


keep hearing how much better link belts are for other applications
but have not seen mention of using link belts on a bandsaw

probaably cost more but they are supposed to perform better than a
solid belt


also the holes might help to prevent gunk build up under the belt

No, why would I want one? None of my belts are link belts, and all my
tools have been working great for 60 years. If your belts ain't
working, your machine sucks, set up sucks, or imagination is wild. How
could they improve on "working great"?

Just a hunch (as I don't own one). They could get rid of any "memory" a
typical belt could acquire.

My guess is any "memory" would be erased after a few revolutions. Just a
hunch, but most of the vibration is in the sales hype of the link belt
marketing department.
