Pulley RPM calculator
Posted: Thu Jun 20, 2013 11:40 am
For those that don't have a ridiculously high IQ like myself, here is a little calculator to determine the RPMs of a motor driven pulley system.
In my case I purchased a pulley driven variable speed bench grinder that uses pulleys to vary the speed. I knew the rpm's of the motor and the diameter of the pulleys but did not know the rpms at which the grinder was moving in its current belt configuration.
Use this calc to determine the rpms of your pulleys.

Sorry I know this probably pretty basic for most but this is all I can really contribute so far!
Go ahead and scrub it if this has already been covered in a thread.
