If anyone is familiar with this

Could you tell me the diameter of the motor pulley? Thanks!

Search OWWM; I've never seen that before, though. Interesting.

But, set it up so the cutterhead is running in the range of 3650-5000
SFM and it'll be fine.

Thanks, that should be easy to figure out!

Holy Crap...it says in the ad about the diameter of the pulley...but it seems slow!

4200 rpm is right in the sweet spot I mentioned???

Oopsies! I misread (it's _awfully_ fine print! is my story and I'm
stickin' to it! ) the diameter as 3+" instead of 2-5/8". At 4200
rpm, that is a little under 3000 sfpm which is a little low, granted.

But, that's a pretty small machine; from the original picture had
thought it quite a bit larger so I'm guessing feeder speed is pretty
slow which will counteract the problem.

Also, bearings probably not the _most_ robust, altho of that vintage
things were just typically quite a lot more robust so that's likely not
a real concern.

Might push it a little beyond that target; I'd not want to get carried
away, though...
