2x72 Belt Grinder Motor Speed | BladeForums
With your 5" drive pulley you'll have about 2350 SFPM belt speed at the 1800 rpm motor speed. With the 3600 rpm motor and 5" drive wheel that would be around 5700 SFPM belt speed. Just fine for profiling, but a real bugger to finish a knife with. I'd go with the 1800 rpm motor, 2350 will cut pretty good with cheap belts - not ceramic.
