No. Multipoly, very flexible but no linked. Pulleys are machined, of
course, or
the belt wouldn't work.


Multipoly? Is that anything like an automotive timing belt or serpentine
fan belt?


It might be. Several Vs off a very flexible belt's underside fit into
matching
grooves on the pulleys. Helps a lot in attaining smoothness, and these new
Craftsman saws are very smooth.

If they are narrow "V's" running the length of the belt is sounds like what
GM calls the serpentine belt. Very flexible and lots of surface contact
area. IIRC Powermatic uses two of these on the PM 666
