TS3650 question

I have a TS3650, and unless you also change the pulleys, I don't think a link belt is gonna work. The factory belt is a flat ribbed belt, and the pulleys are machined specifically for that kind of belt, not for a typical V-shaped belt (which is essentially what the link belts are). And even if you could use a link belt, I don't think it'd be any improvement over the factory belt. The flat ribbed belt would be considered an upgrade on a contractor-style saw that uses standard V-belts. (I use link belts on my jointer and drill press, so I'm familiar with them and the improvement they can provide.)

Is there a problem you're trying to solve by changing the belt? Maybe there's another way to handle it.
