5 FT Link Belt 3/8 inch x 5 feet Z Type, Adjustable Drive Belt, V-Belt for Lathes, Table Saws and Woodworking Tools.

The belt was easy to adjust to the correct length and works well

1/4 the price of a factory belt for my Powermatic contractor saw. Probably smoother than a new factory belt; certainly smoother than the stiff one it replaced. Only unexpected down, it is louder than the original. Have to grab eat muffs every time. Small sacrifice.

Bought the 3/8 inch belt to install on my 2 HP table saw (motor hanging from rear of saw) because the V belt caused my table saw to vibrate excessively. I easily installed this link belt and the saw dramatically smoothed out. It is now almost vibration free. If you use a pair of pointed nose pliers when adding/removing links, it's a very easy process. I had to make the belt about 2 inches shorter than the V belt, but still was able to roll the belt onto the Motor pulley. These belts are, in my view, a bit pricey, but they likely will last a long time. Very satisfied.

Operates smooth and quietly. You need to install it, then run it a bit, it may stretch a bit; take out a few links. I purposely installed mine very tightly, and it stretched a bit and now runs quiet.

I've been wanting to try an adjustable link belt for a long time. This one is strong and the ability to adjust the length means I don't have to worry about having to get an exact length.I ordered this for a woodworking lathe that I am building from an old set of Fine Woodworking Magazine plans. It is going to make it much easier to get the length I need.My drill press was an easy place to try the belt out since the pulleys are easily accessible. I adjusted the length to fit the pulleys using needle nose pliers and it ran smoothly.My lathe project will give it a good workout to see how well it holds up. I suspect it won't last as long as a standard belt, but the versatility of adjustability is great. I think I'll get one to have available as a spare in case of a problem with any of my other belt driven tools.

I have used link belts on table saws and other tools for over 20 years. They have worked very well. I ordered this one to carry as an emergency alternator belt on an off-road vehicle that is often in remote places.I cannot speak to the durability of this belt but it looks good and it fits the pulleys on my application.

I have previously converted my cabinet table saw (triple pulley 3 link belts) and 17" bandsaw to linked belts and noticed a significant change in operating smoothness. My table saw used to start with a bang and turn off with a shudder, but that is gone. I am using this belt on my lathe and it's working as expected. It feels more stiff compared to the larger belts I have, but I think that's due to the smaller size and less leverage when trying to remove or add links.This belt size isn't standard in my experience. Most common belts are 3/8" or 1/2" A Type belts so be sure to double-check what you need. Z section V belts are 10 mm width and 6 mm depth.Link belts are a pain to adjust until you figure it out. Be sure to have a pair of needle nose pliers.

This belt is working perfectly, replacing the worn drive belt on my drill press. It was easily adjusted to the correct length using a pair on needle-nose pliers…using my fingers was somewhat less successful. :-)The new belt runs quietly and smoothly. It’s a major improvement from the old worn beast.Highly Recommended!
