platine motor with nylon thread


I'm running my platine verdier table with the nylon thread and am wondering if the thread needs replacing at any specific interval.Does it's strength or quality wear out with extended use?

Thanks Mike.

I guess the answer is whether or not the speed needs more adjusting than usual?

To me, as the drive thread wears, I would expect to have to make speed adjustments more often to compensate for the decreased friction.

Other than that, I wouldn't know how else to decide if the thread was 'worn out' (other than breaking, of course).
