    Nice work! I'm glad you pointed out that a belts horsepower rating varies a lot with RPM and pulley size. I've seen a lot of undersized belts over the years and a lot of the Chinese equipment are good examples of bad belt selection.

    Now that you have a proper belt, you will have to worry about breaking something else on the machine.
