The talk was ribbed belt. Like on a Car or Truck - many ribs on the
long fan..... belt.

I use link belt on both my wood lathe and metal lathe. Both work just
fine and the metal lathe cuts cleanly and has the power it needs.

Link belt was made for conveyor motors driving the long lines.

Cut it off and replace it with a link belt...
MUCH easier than taking the headstock apart to replace a belt and
you'll love the difference...
I've gone to link belts on all of my pulley tools...


Link belt is what I was thinking too. I have one on my Delta Contractor saw. Can't say its better or worse or different than the regular belt that was on the saw when new. But its RED. So it must be better because its RED. And has lots of little RED links in it.
