I just bought a 14" Rigid brand bandsaw from Home Depot. The spec sheet says that the blade speed is 2700 feet per minute. When I assembled the machine and turned it on for the first time, it seemed the blade was going a lot faster then 2700 FPM. I did some math and came up with a blade speed much much higher then 2700.
Request members of the HMEM board independently do the math to see if I am off. Here are the specs:
Motor speed, no load: 1725 RPM
Pulley diameter on the motor: 2"
Pulley diameter on the bandsaw shaft: 5.5"
Blade length: 93.5"
Many thanks in advance, Bob
