Grizzly G4003G - Belt vibration (Video)

Okay I installed the linked belts and tested...I would say the result is a 2 to 1 reduction in vibration on average. The old cogged belts were spiking to .0003 with .0002 fairly common. Note the cogged belts were Napa made in the USA belts with a variable cog design. These link belts are pretty smooth, kind of a fuzz vibration well within .0001 for the most part. I would also point out the link belts only have a few minutes run time on them where I have hours of break in on the old cogged belts.

Here's a walk around with the link belts running, less vibration than the old cogged belts, you can hear this in the video audio as well. The link belts have kind of a white noise sound, give each video a listen. I also zoom in on the new motor pulley from Grizzly, the old one wobbled badly but the new one is running nice and true.

Good to see that a fairly simple swap helped out so much!

My 4003G never had any issues with the belts vibrating, I was actually really surprised by how smooth the stock belts were...
 
I like the green belts. Where did they come from? Gotta color coordinate.
