Hi All
I'm looking to build a drum sander as I just cant afford what they go for even secondhand.
I am planning on using these plans.
It recommends a 1750 / 1450 rpm motor. I have seen a few motors that are 2850 rpm. The plans call for a 2" pulley on the motor shaft and a 5" pulley on drum shaft. I'm presuming I can alter the pulley configuration to get a 2850 motor to run the drum at the correct speed?
Is it possible?
Can anyone point me in the right direction to calculate this?
