Thanks for the info.? I can buy universal 3 attack pulleys if I know the diameters of the pulley to get the right FPM.? ?Or if someone know the ratio of the warm gear.

A quick search indicates motors for these saws run at 1725 RPM (HF, and Grizzly).? My Northern tool 4x6 also runs at 1725 RPM.
I removed my pulley cover because it rattled.? I never get my fingers anywhere near the pulleys during cutting so IMO It's not necessary.??
If your blade currently runs at a FPM (feet per minute) appropriate for the type of metal you cut most frequently you don't need a 3-step pulley.? Look at your Grizzly manual to determine the appropriate FPM for different types of metals and compare to your current set-up.?
My saw is not a Grizzly or?Milwaukee rf-11 but the shaft on my motor and gearbox (NorthernTool saw) are both approx .585" diameter.??
You should be able to find the right size pulleys for the shaft diameters on your motor and gearbox with a little bit of research.? Measure them first then call grizzly or do a simple google search (ebay, grainger, mcmaster carr, essentra components, etc.).??
Good luck.
