The GT2 series of belts are designed specifically for linear motion. They use a rounded tooth profile that guarantees that the belt tooth fits smoothly and accurately in the pulley groove, so when you reverse the pulley direction, there is no room for the belt to move in the groove.
This belting is meant to be used in conjunction with a timing-belt pulley such as these parts.
Note: The Shapeoko 2 and X-Carve 3D Carvers use 6.35mm wide belts.
