Basis and table mats?

I agree with other about the mat. I use my 2500 with no mat, but I do have the Basis clamp which works very well.

I thought about trying the dental floss or silk string, but the pulley seems to have a convexed shape so I'm afraid the string would ride either at the top or bottom of the groove and perhaps not give the proper rotational velocity. The mylar is an interesting choice. Does it come in 3/16 or 1/4 inch widths?

Thanks for the tips all. I'm curious about the new belt also.

Shventus,

so how does it different from the black rubber(?) one?

Thanks for posting the info, Shventus. So there was no changing of the motor pulley?

WOW! $125! Do these tape belts really vary that much in thickness? I think I'll try some DIY solutions first to see if the tape makes a difference in what I experience.
