I'm looking for any advice which is the better Poly V / Micro V belt. Being the same ( just different branding ) should be identical in size and shape but specifically, I would like a soft supple belt instead of a rigid one. My current poly/micro V belts are from Ametric ( they may be made by Goodyear, but I'm not sure) . They are somewhat rigid and it makes some added noise on each revolution on my mills spindle. One of the ones I got from them was nice and soft, so I know its possible , but I don't know what brand it really is. I may use some belt dressing, as that could soften the one I have but I am just hopeful someone has experience with a variety and could offer a suggestion. Mine has 10 ribs with a J profile. The next one I buy I'll just get 8 ribs, which should help a bit with excess rigidity.
Cheers,
Jake
