Product Information

Reduce Vibration, Change Lengths Easily

I’ve battled band saw vibration ever since I bought it in the early ‘80’s. I’ve re-balanced the wheels, stiffened the frame, added ballast, and changed the pulleys, but the most effective and least expensive “fix” was to install a Power Twist belt. It is made of short inter-locking sections so it seems to run truer, and transmit less vibration. The inter-locking Power Twist links belts make it easy to adjust belt length (no more frantic trips to five stores trying to find the correct belt length). The A/4L 1/2" size is the most common for woodworking equipment. Made in USA.

        I am hoping the belt streches because it would seem to be alittle short. I was able to put in on a pully...but thats it...The Tightest belt in my shop.

            A great replacement belt for my planer. Reduced vibration by a lot. And I am a vibration engineer!

            I have had the twist belt on my table saw for years. It significanlty reduces vibration. Since then, I have added the belts to my jointer (old belt was drying out) and my band saw. The individual links permit an easy length match to the old V-belts.

              Easy to adjust as it wears in, easy to re-use and re-adjust if needed on different equipment (be sure to save unused links).

                Passed the nickle test after I finally got the nickle balanced. The reduction in vibration is uncanny. Installed one on my 39 year old 10" Craftsman contractor saw and my Delta 14" band saw. Wish I had done so long ago. Anyone buying this belt will never have a regret.
