    If it does the same thing with the belt installed either way, I would say that it has nothint to do with the belt. It is more likely in the adjustment of the rollers. Have you adjusted that?

    I use Senco 1/4" hoses. They are very flexable, lightweight, and since they use "push-on" ends, they are easy to modify to specific lengths. Mine are in use 50+ hours a week in a commercial cabinet...

    There is absolutely no reason that you couldn't do that by tilting the dado. You will just have to work out the angle and location, probably by testing. You could do the same on the side walls too.
