PowerTwist Plus V-Belt [Posted on 2008-04-21]
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.

...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.
WOW!! This Product Is Amazing!!! [Posted on 2008-06-07]
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!!!!
Simply Amazing [Posted on 2008-08-12]
I bought a gorgeous old Jet contractor's saw. It was in good condition, but it SHOOK violently when it was turned on and off. I had heard a lot about this kind of vibration-reducing belt and I figured a new belt couldn't hurt.
I could not be happier. The vibration is all but gone. I was hoping for some reduction, but I was amazed.
Granted, this was an older saw with an older belt, so I don't know how much of the reduction was due to the better belt or just that the older belt was worn out, but I was amazed and would definitely suggest picking this up if you have a vibration.
Over rated [Posted on 2008-08-29]
99% of these reviews are written by people who replaced the OEM belt with one of these. Which means they're comparing the cheapest belt the OEM could buy to an over priced thing.
I've compared these belts to GOOD v belts and don't see any advantage in terms of vibration dampening.
A Gates Cogged Hi-Power belt runs about 1/4 of the price of these and produces the same amount of vibration. In addition to this at the same tension (ie not stressing the motor) the link belt was more prone to slippage when the tool was loaded down than the Hi-Power.
