I have just purchased a used 14" Delta bandsaw look alike made in Taiwan. I am trying to figure out how to set it up to run around 3000 for wood cutting.
It is a two belt, three pulley drive system:
Motor runs at 1720rpm
The motor pulley has four steps, starting 9from the motor out); the dia's are: 3.5",2.5", 1.75 and 1".
The first driven pulley, (from pulley out): 1",2",3",4" and 5".
Then the second driven pulley is 5.25" which drives the lower wheel, the diameter of 13.75"
Can anyone help me figure out where to place the drive belts to get the desired speed.
Thanks for any help
