Have a project speeding up the belt speed of a wood sander. Pretty standard common belt sander found everywhere, 8 disk 6 x 48 belt. Here are pictures, remove the disk, replaced the belt drive pulley, double the size of the motor drive pulley.
How does it work?
1 did speed things up as common sense tells ya
2 better metal removal
3 does it stall .......... to much feed, yes and that was not new it stalled before I modified it, so no biggy
4 Next step, at some point when I find one, will increase the HP of the motor, I believe this one is 1/3. Want to step it up to 1 hp 110ac, 3400 rpm
5 belt tracking was not affected, still holds as before, a little tweaking here and there is alway in the game.
Conclusion:
I wanted to keep the 6" width just my preference, it works better than therory says it should.
