Q: What tools can I use this belt on?
This link belt replaces the standard V-belt on single-belt drives such as a table saw, lathe, jointer or drill press.
03J8501 - Fenner PowerTwist Link Belt for Power Tools
Widely used in industry, these belts are not bothered by oil and heat. They also transmit more power and are far less subject to stretching than solid woven belts (regular V-belts). But where they make the most difference is in the elimination of vibration. All vibration is absorbed in the belt linkage, substantially quieting a table saw or lathe. Tests show durability is up to 15 times that of solid woven belts.
The individual belt sections also accommodate any pulley misalignment without twisting. The interlock construction makes it easy to size belts accurately.
Replaces the standard V-belt on a table saw, lathe, jointer, drill press, etc. Instructions included.
1/2" wide belt is sold by the foot. Made in USA.
This link belt replaces the standard V-belt on single-belt drives such as a table saw, lathe, jointer or drill press.
Yes, vibration is absorbed within the belt's link construction rather than transmitted through the drive, which noticeably quiets a running table saw or lathe.
Pull the belt hand-tight around the sheaves, count the links, and remove one link for every twenty-four counted to set correct tension.
Yes, the individual belt links flex to take up pulley misalignment without twisting, which a solid one-piece belt can't do.
Check tension after the first 24 hours of running at full load, since the belt takes up its initial stretch during that break-in period; recheck periodically after that.
