First things first I ordered a Grizzly T21992 Power Twist V-Belt<\/a> and two Gates AK25 Light Duty<\/a> pulleys – one for the motor and one for the arbor. Next patiently wait for them to arrive except I couldn’t due to the kitchen remodel timelines so I just kept fighting the factory equipment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Once arriving I pulled the old pulleys off – the one on the motor required some convincing it wanted to be removed – I used penetrating oil<\/a> for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I had to file down the shaft key for the key way because was a little too snug to fit in the slot ground in on the pulleys. Once that was done I slid the pulleys on, tapped the key in and set the link belt size to the appropriate length following the directions provided with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Boy was I amazed the difference both in the sound and smoothness of the cutting. I really wish I had made this upgrade prior to almost finishing my cabinets because I could have saved a lot of time tightening down the set screws over and over again while ripping Maple and Plywood. My cuts also would have been much cleaner too without all the vibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Below you will find a video on the process I went about doing it. I hope you find it useful and it improves your woodworking level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.snaservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/20191112_174014-1024x576.jpg\")
