Vibration Reduction for Cleaner Cuts

PowerTwist Plus^® V-Belts:

• Virtually no transmitted vibration results in smoother, cleaner cuts and finishes
• Outlasts conventional rubber belts in tough woodworking conditions
• Installs in minutes on captive pulleys without dismantling drive
• Makes up to any length by hand in seconds - no tools!
• An easy to install, quick replacement for conventional 3/8", 1/2", or 5/8" V-belts.

What's different about PowerTwist Plus? Everything, starting with how they're constructed. Conventional rubber V-belts (the kind that usually come standard on your equipment) contain an inner cord which transmits vibrations from the motor through the entire machine. When these vibrations get to the blade, they can cause it to skip, tear out, and chip the wood, which can mean the end of that expensive piece of carefully chosen lumber — or at a minimum, more work at the finishing stage.

PowerTwist Plus Belts are made from polyurethane/polyester segmented twist-lock links. The links don't allow any significant level of vibration to be transmitted from motor to components. Because we use a reinforcing fabric and not multiple cords, any vibrations that enter an individual link dissipate quickly and, as there's no permanent connection between one link and the next, vibrations just aren't transmitted.
