V-Belt for Bandsaw

[Jim German]

I'm looking for a new belt for my band saw. The pulleys are for a and b sections and its a 2 HP motor. I was using an older belt but it was introducing a significant amount of vibration. I tried a link belt, which is great for vibration, but slips under heavy load.

Anyone have any suggestions? Preferrably an online source.

Some people recommend *X 'cogged' belts. They're supposed to not take a set like typical V belts but are quite a bit cheaper (and quieter) than link belts. Something like these:
