Its a direct replacement for a traditional V belt, used on AC stuff. my buddy has had one on his 2332 for 5 years with no issues, ill find the name of the belt and post it here.

I did some researching myself, and it looks like it's a 3L (3/8") "Link Belt". I see lot's of rave reviews for their use on drill presses, lathes, saw, etc. It looks like it would slip easier than a traditional V-belt but maybe I'm wrong. looks handy to have around as a spare belt for just about anything. Would have saved me from calling in ground support when my truck threw a water pump belt...
