The fan cover is off, as I had to mark one of the blades to figure out the ratio. The will result in about 195 rpm, so I'll have to look at the pulley size on the bandsaw and work out what SFM I will end up with.
The nice thing about converting is it's usually mostly lathe work to make or modify pulleys and shafts. That's one machine you have which is operable.
Best of luck to you.
Nice work on your conversion, Shawn!
