Just fitted a B \ 5L size linked belt on my Sheraton 9 lathe.

The belt width measures around .650" it sits high in the pulley grooves
I had a automotive style belt fitted which was a compromise, it was noisy and vibrated,
The linked belt is quieter no doubt but dissapointingly it isn't completely vibration free.

Been playing with speeds , the belt seems to whip up/down at all speeds.
