One other suggestion:
try one of those red linked belts--the resulting smoothness is amazing.
And the one I installed doesn't seem to wear at all; at least there's no
apparent belt residue in the compartment.

I second that ... but I wish mine WOULD show some wear -- it jumps the
pulley on my HF 12x33 when I try to take it to top speed.

Hmmm ... maybe I should try taking a link out?

The quandary I faced when installing the link belt is that it seemed to be
perfect somewhere between removing or leaving the final link. But I left
the link in and it works fine. I haven't noticed any belt stretch, and it
hasn't jumped a sheave. I'm satisfied.
