The Jet 1442 uses a reeves drive system... DO NOT use a link belt on this type of system... if you need to replace the existing belt go to a good autoparts store and get the best Gates Green belt they have in the size you need... I use them on my 1236 that has the same type of drive and they last longer than the factory replacements at a fraction of the cost...

shaft out as you would to install the original belt. Also, how tight do
you make it between the 2 pulleys. Thanks in advance.
