belt grinder torque question

[Ken S]

Jan,

If you gave me a complete answer, it might take a century and a Nobel Prize to verify it.  

Actually, your partial answer is exactly what I was looking for. Double the torque will let me use the slower speeds I like and control the cutting speed by touch. My work is mostly with a light touch, with some heavy artillery in reserve when needed.

Thanks.

Ken

Rupert,

I really like the smaller Gen III pulley, and the washers work well!

Thanks,
