Re: Milwaukee rf-115 pulley motor questions
|
Jason, ? I¡¯m not familiar with either the RF-115 or anything from Grizzly so can¡¯t help with the dimensions you asked about.? But for your other questions: ? The motor pulley should definitely be a 3-step of the same three diameters as the pulley that I guess is still on the saw.? Else, you will have to have three belts in order to change speed.? And you want to be able to do that as the optimum speed for example for aluminum is faster than for mild steel, which is faster than for some alloys. ? Common nameplate motor speeds are 1725, 1740 and 1750.? But any ? HP capacitor-start motor with RPM indicated between 1700 and 1800 will be fine. ? At least on my machine, both guide pinch bearing assemblies are adjustable.? So any blade in that range will be OK so long as you adjust the rollers if needed. ? ?

Subject: [4x6bandsaw] Milwaukee rf-115 pulley motor questions? I'm looking at buying a Milwaukee rf-115 that someone disassembled some items.? Most importantly the motor, guard and gear box pulley.? The motor is not original, but everything else seems to be in good shape.? I read some post here indicating the saw was made by Rong Fu and I downloaded the recommended grizzly manual. Can anyone Tell me if these parts are interchangeable (referenced above)? Or can someone measure the shafts of there grizzle G0622 motor and gear box to see if this is the same??? The motor installed does not have the 3 tier pulley.? I assume I should change this.? I also wanted to very what RPM should be on the motor. Last item.? The nameplate on the saw indicated a blade spec: 1/2" x .025 x 64-1/2.? The grizzly manual indicated a .028 thick blade.? With the .028 blade work? ?
