belt grinder torque question

[Rupert Lucius]

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.

Rupert,

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

Thanks,

Ken

You are most welcome - as you get more time operating the Gen III you will be using it like a pair pliers, screw driver, crescent wrench. 

It will become a tool that you will not be without.

A local professional machinist keeps one on the table that holds his wooden tool chest at his lathe station.  Uses it to keep from having to fixture items at his milling machine station - the belt is so versatile and handy.
