Belt
Never have heard of a belt breaking yet on the P20. A month old they should
replace it on warranty. Just a defective belt I guess. But that is not good to be out of a saw waiting for parts so soon.Rick Hutcheson

barnja, My P-20 developed a strange noise last winter in the belt area. I discovered a small bump on the belt was hitting the bottom. Must not be very much clearance there. I took some sandpaper and sanded the bump off thus solving the worrysome noise. MickMick, - Delta P-20

Sure sounds like a factory defect from whatever company makes those belts for Delta.
A belt packing in sure beats a VS speed controller from packing in though whether it is under warranty or not.. And especilally if the warranty has run out. I am glad for you that you will be getting a new belt under your two year warranty.
Three and a half years and thousands of hours of heavy stack sawing on mine and the original belt still looks like new. I cleaned it with a little warm soapy water about a year ago because it looked dirty but aside from that , regulary putting a couple drops of oil in the oil cups every 25 hours as recommended , that has been about the extent of my service requirements. It's been an awasome saw.

Ah pantyhose,
The universal belt replacement: good enough for the car, good enough for the scrollsaw.
There actually was an ad where the guy was on the side of the road with a broken fan belt, and the beautiful girls stops to help. You're thinking that he is lucky and is going to score when you see her reaching under her skirt. Next shot she finishes tying the pantyhose on the pulleys and takes off with a big smile with the female announcer saying that women have some advantages over men (or something to that effect). I believe it was an ad for pantyhose, but don't really remember the brand, only remembered the trick in case I ever got in that situation.
Glad you found a way to prevent withdrawal symptoms while waiting for the replacement belt

Reply to YoraHome Laser w/CNC Engraver/RouterNew toys sometimes become tools we can use, and other times they simply are tools toward expanding our horizons and being there when an idea pops into our heads. Let us know what you try the Ortur on and how it does. I'm sincerely curious. Also....why did you choose Amazon vs the other vendors...

Reply to First you need to make a messby will8989It was a challenge that’s for sure. I didn’t start anything until I was all finished. It’s nice to have a clean area to work in! My biggest challenge was all those pieces of scrap wood that I just might need “someday.” They burned well in my son’s woodstove. And I did get through all the patterns....

Reply to First you need to make a messby tgiro01Wow - Betty, what do you charge. I have things to do and I'm in the process of cleaning my shop, just to have room to do it. My problem is that I get the work bench cleared and then start working on projects again. I really need to do the workbench last.

Reply to YoraHome Laser w/CNC Engraver/Routerby tgiro01I ordered and received the ORTUR Laser Master 2 from Amazon, the but haven't had a chance to even get it out of the box. Too much going
on right now. I got the 20 watt version, which is supposed to be good for cutting, but I don't think I'll be doing much of that. There will be a learning curve...-
