WOW!! This Product Is Amazing!!!
I bought the Powertwist Plus V-Belt to replace the auto belt that came with my Jet Contractor Saw. I have owned the saw for a year, but had just seen this product a few weeks ago. I had just upgraded to a Forrest blade and was disappointed in the blades performance as far as getting a smooth glue line rip that all the reviewers were raving about. I though my saw was a bit loud and vibrated a lot and it was recommended to me to try this V-Belt. I thought $6 a foot was a bit high for a V-Belt, but if it worked it would be worth it. It took me less than five minutes to take the old auto belt off, adjust the Powertwist V-Belt to length and install it. When I first turned on the machine I just started laughing with joy. Literally NO VIBRATION!!! I could not believe it(Now, keep in mind my tablesaw in all other aspects is leveled just under perfection using Incra guaranteed squares and Stabila levels). I ran some wood through and now I have a smooth glue line rip. I now understand why people rave about Forrest blades and the PowerTwist V-Belt so much. They really do work!!!!

Don't Want to Rain On Anyone's Parade, but...
...it sure didn't work for me. In spite of having balanced the wheels and having installed and carefully aligned machined cast iron V-belt pulleys, my Delta bandsaw still had an annoying vibration. Since the belt was old and worn and had taken a bit of a set, I figured that had to be the problem. So after reading the gushing reviews here, I bought a Power Twist belt. No dice. If anything, it made the vibration worse. Since it's still a functional drive belt, I'll give it two stars, but it certainly fell far short of expectations.

PowerTwist Plus V-Belt
I received my PowerTwist Plus V-Belts and have installed one of them on my 6 inch sander. It was very easy to install and took out all of the belt vibration. I also have had one on my table saw for several years and the results are the same. Very good product and easy to install.

link belt
For several months I read about link belts in woodworking publications and blogs with a certain amount of reserve, thinking how could something like this actually reduce vibration. I finally ordered one and easily installed it on my table saw. The difference was remarkable. The noise level was reduced by at least half and the vibration was virtually eliminated. The belt did stretch and "settle-in" over the next few weeks. I had to remove a link per week for a couple of weeks until it now seems to be stable. I would highly recommend this for belt driven table saws.

Fantastic Results
I must agree with all of the positive reviews here. This belt works great! I am using it on a Delta 36-979 saw that had a definite rumble prior to using this belt. After switching the rumble completely disappeared and, yes, my saw also passed the standing penny test (yes penny, not just nickle). The overall sound level from the machine rose slightly from about 72db to 74db. This is due to a higher pitched whine that this belt makes.

Overall I am very pleased and will be making use of these belts elsewhere in my shop! I just wish they weren't 6 bucks a foot!
