I do know a link belt improved my bandsaw. It was worth the trip to HF.


Do you have any before and after shots? I'd love to see the difference.
BS are not known for smooth finishes at any rate.


If the whole machine is vibrating the blade is moving with it. Link belts
don't change the quality of the cut, that depends upon the blade and -
possibly - movement unique to the blade (wheels, tires, guides). What link
belts do is cut down vibration due to power transmission.
