Marc hit the nail right on the head, our welder has a three day turn around time and our machine shop has a one day turn around time.

Belts don't skip at all. Although, our 9mm belts did ratchet when we changed direction last year, and we are switching to 15mm belts to try and alleviate the problem.

Akash posted a photo of last year's belt access system (was a one belt system.) This year, we are still experimenting with access window size and location and we plan on using a similar system.
