20" Woodgears bandsaw (continued)

[craig9]

Hi folks,

This is a bit of a diversion from the main thread of the 20" woodgears bandsaw work I've been building. Here I'm modifying a 2hp motor that had the wrong drive type, no pulley and no keyway - to be used on the bandsaw. In the video I make a pulley from scratch, mill the keyways, make a key, and test the result.

Next up is a 90 degree mounting plate, then I'm ready to mount it to the bandsaw frame.

Cheers,
Craig
