I am replacing the motor on my Powermatic 14" bandsaw with a bigger HP motor for resawing. The original motor is 1750 RPM.The bigger motor I have is 3450 RPM. I am using a motor pulley half the size of the original to maintain the same surface speed.
I did the same thing with a combination belt/disk sander a few months ago and it works fine. The above seems logical to me but I'd like to hear what input others might have. Thanks.
