Doug, what issues did you have with string drive silk thread and dental floss. Did you spend much time with either of those or was it quickly obvious vs mylar tape?

Thanks, TD
Years ago when the belt on my Aries broke I replaced it a double strand of 4 lbs test fishing line. I had to change the SDS settings but it runs like a champ. I have a super heavy clamp so I do give it a little push at startup.

Too lazy to try anything else...

I don't understand your post. I set it up once over three years ago and a little push on a 1080 gram wright is no big deal. I not suffering at all, so what's your gripe and it's solution?
