What can make the cheap machine expensive?

Drive beltmedium

The 7512 is belt-driven (not gear-driven like most Hobart slicers) at 345 RPM blade speed per the OEM manual, and Parts Town's own 7512 parts catalog carries a dedicated poly drive belt (shared with the 7510) as a stocked replacement item -- a documented wear point specific to this belt-drive architecture rather than a one-off incident report.
