Excessive wear on belts, cracking and worn
I’m seeing a lot of sites lately just replacing belts.
If the pulleys are aligned properly and the tension is set right, belts should last a lot longer than what we’re seeing.
Before swapping belts, it’s worth checking alignment.
You can do this with a straight edge or a piece of string. I usually just use string . (Cheap, easy to carry, fits in the tool bag, and does the job.)
