    here are a few more photos I will take some more when I get home. the fan looks like it will have to come off to fit in the original housing as will the flywheel. the shaft legths are very close in length but the DC motor shaft is narrower in diameter. Maybe the pulley on the shaft could be turned down to fit the bandsaws cog? the cog/ gear on the bandsaw's motor's shaft does have a keyway that looks like it way hand cut, not completely straight and is rounded towards the center of the shaft.
