One of them has trapezoidal teeth. The other has circular teeth.

I think you'll find the teeth are semi-circular in cross section.
The KrisDel circular teeth used to roll off all over the floor so we moved to semicircular, they stick on much better.

Thank you very much!

Abstract:

The trapezoidal shape timing belt was superseded by a curvilinear tooth profile which exhibited some desirable and superior qualities. Advantages of this type of drive are as follows:

Proportionally deeper tooth; hence tooth jumping or loss of relative position is less probable.

Lighter construction, with correspondingly smaller centrifugal loss.

Smaller unit pressure on the tooth since area of contact is larger.

Simple.

Glad to help.
