I have a Magna (Shopsmith forerunner) bandsaw on a power stand. Has served me well though a little small for some things. I'm changing the motor that was on it when I got it from a 1/3hp to a 1/2hp 1725 rpm motor. The original motor is just too underpowered for some thicker stock.
Question is:
What is the correct rpm for the saw? With this info I can install the correct size pulleys. Better yet, if any of you have the similar set up, what pulleys do you use?
TIA.
Bill
