OP Jester Campfire Member J Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 353 western PA	I intend to build a belt grinder for knifemaking. I plan to use a 1 HP motor and probably a pair of 4-step pulleys; 2,3,4 and 5". My question is, what is the "correct" motor RPM to use, 1725 or 3450, and subsequently a 4 or 6" drive wheel to get the optimal belt speed range? Thanks in advance!
