I am looking for someone with a powermatic Model 221 Planer. I am missing the drive motor and cutter head pulleys'. From my research so far I can tell they are 3 groove pulleys and the cutter head usually spins about 4500 RPM. If anyone can help me out with the size of these pulleys and possibly a place to purchase them it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,

HP? Five or under two belts is enough unless one pulley is under 2" diameter. Belts are better then they were even 30 years ago when a lot of tools were designed.

This unit has a 10 H.P 3 Phase motor. From what I can tell max RPM is 4800 but S.F.M on the cutter head is 5180. I remember reading somewhere that it should be set up to run at approximately 4500 RPM. I can use all this to calculate pulley sizes, but I would like to know what the stock pulley sizes are.
