8520 Loose Spindle Pulley

I've got link belts in both places, although I find them a little noisy. Lots of edges. I'd like to go back to conventional belts at some point. The extra thickness does help with pulley wear though.

Also, my motor pulley seems to have a wobble in it from someone earlier in it's life boring it a little off. Contributes to the noise as the V grooves are closer together touching the wider link belt just a bit for part of the motors rotation.
 
I did not notice any change in noise with the cogged belt, probably will now that you have put the thought in my head LOL.
I suspect at some point I will need to make some new pulleys or repair these ones, perhaps I should buy a tig welder...
 
I can hear all the segments of the belt contacting the pulleys.. not bad. wobbling motor pully is probably most of it.

I put new bearings in it and the rest of the mill got quieter, so I can notice other things.

Need to do the same thing to my big wrong fu before i sell it. My wife can hear it in the house.
