Harbor Freight - Link Belt (Rating: 5)

So I found a couple 25% off coupons for Harbor Freight. I decided to pickup a link-belt to replace the worn belt on my table saw as part of the tune-up I did recently.

The old rubber belt was worn, and I read a lot of good things about these link belts in general, as well as generally good reviews for the Harbor Freight link belt.

The one I picked up was labeled "Jason Industrial Inc" and was green in color. I was able to get it sized up and installed in no time. I fired up the saw, and it didn't vibrate nearly as bad as it did before.

OK, so that could be because I also replaced the arbor bearings and the two sheaves that were out of balance, bent and generally in bad shape. They didn't even hug the arbors well.

Anyway, if you are looking for a replacement link-belt at half the cost of the red ones sold elsewhere, this is a good value after tax and the 25% off coupon, I think it cost me about $20.

I however have nothing else to compare this to, other than the old belt.
