I recently picked up this old but refurbished Rockwell band saw for $100 and it looks like it was set up to cut metal since it has a 1" pulley on the motor and an 11" pulley on the saw. Using the band saw calculator website that gives me about a 525fpm speed which I've since learned is way to slow for wood. I need advice on pulley size for the motor and saw and was also wondering if it would be worth upgrading to a 1 or 1.5 hp motor. Thanks for the help!
