All depends on how far down the rabbit hole you want to go I suppose.
Changing the hard lumpy Chinese v-belt on my lathe to a Fenner linked belt made a big difference in the finishes I got after changing it. I still have to be vigilant with sharp tools and short stick-outs though.
Fair enough
I'll stop worrying about it, looks like me and Vinny have the same problem.

Thanks for the replies folks, food for thought.
Cheers.
