I'm in the market for one of those open end 15" Wide Belts to replace my Performax 16-32. I had hoped that the companies that offer them would have one in Atlanta later this month, but I contacted all (except Grizzly) and none are taking one this year. So, if anyone has hands on experience with the SunHill, Extrema, Bridgewood, Grizzly or Shop Fox I would appreciate your thoughts. In particular I am getting different opinions on contact drum vs platen.
Thanks, Perry
