After reading many reviews on the wreck, I finally installed a link
belt (red) on my Delta CS. Even though I considered my saw well
tuned, it still vibrated a bit, especially with the blade all the way
up. After installing the link belt, vibration = 95% gone. Purrrrrrrs
like a kitten. Thanks to all who recommended this product.

Ok.. I've thought about it enough. What is the Delta CS that uses a
belt? I can only think of a few things that run on belts: Drill Press,
Table Saw, ok only two things...

I had thought of chain saw, but figured no one would try to use link
belt on the chain saw. Cabinet saw works as well. In any case maybe we
could assume some form of table saw. Sort of disappoints me. I thought
maybe there was another tool that I didn't know about that I could buy.

I'll sell you a power spummy for $49.95.

Your cabinet saw uses a V-groove pulley ? Don't most use those
flat, wider belts?
Incidentally, I'm a huge shill for link belts. A link belt was the first
and last fix for my drill press (reduced vibration dramatically). Its
kind of like a car that shudders or shimmies when you drive it. How
long can you put up with that when you know all you have to do is
replace a warped tire. Most of the time its the most bang for the
buck you can get when you're looking to reduce vibration.
If *I* was a tool maker, I sure wouldn't want someone's perception
of a tool I designed to be that of a wobbly, substandard contraption.
Not over a few cents worth of polyurethane elastomer / polyester...
They should include segmented belts as standard equipment with
any induction tool.

If your insert isn't a real tight fit, you might try
loosening the mounting screws, shoving it one way as far as
you can, then raising the blade, then repeating in the other
direction.
If you can't do that, try putting a thin shim behind your
blade and raising it, then removing the shim.

Just installed one today on my Delta CS.
Definitely less vibration BUT I find the whirring of the belt a bit
noisier.
Also just installed a zero-clearance insert and the blade rubs
slightly against the insert making even more noise. have raised and
lowered the blade several times is the contact is still there.
Is all this noise going to go away eventually?

Drill press, shapers, band saws, jointers,table saws, compressors
(air), fans, etc. There are a lot of items that deserve a link belt. I
have them on all my belt driven machines.

You could always just reduce the amount of blade contact by filing
or sanding another few thou off the insert so the blade isn't rubbing
it constantly.
