One thing I'll add...when I went for the belt drive option, I changed out the bearings too..For Taper Rollers....Soooo much smoother and the machine is now much quieter than before when it had those horrible plastics gears....No more gears, no more tears. :thumbup: :clap:
Fly cutting is a breeze....

Which bearings did you use? Easy to do? Care to do a write up?
