I have read a decent number of testimonials about the BDB-1340A belt drive
Jet, but I don't hear very much abou the gear drive version. Let's just say
a person was in an unusual situation where they had their choice between the
two AND the price was the same, which one would be the best? I originally
thought the belt drive was the best choice because it was cheaper and many
people seemed to feel that a belt drive had advantages over the gear drive
in terms of smoothness (especially on single phase 220V). But again, if
the money were actually the same, which one would most of you pick? And if
it matters I'm talking about new machines. I know these model numbers have
been around for quite a while, but I don't know if the quality and/or
features have changed over the years.
Thanks,
Jeff
