I'm about to pull the trigger on a Monster Mill MM3 with 1 1/2" rollers.
I am going to motorize it with this 1/2 HP electric motor.
I have found this 1 1/2" pulley for the motor side.
However, I'm having trouble finding a 1/2" bore 12" to 15" pulley for the mill side. I don't know if my Google-fu is weak today, or what, but I am just striking out. Does anyone have any links to a pulley of this size?
And on a side note, does anyone have any opinion on the RPM of the rollers? At 12", the approximate speed would be 220 RPM. At 15" the approximate speed would be 175 RMP. I'd rather keep the mill side pulley as small as possible, but of more importance is a good crush... so what speed is best?
