Please keep in mind that you will need to put a little
reflecting tape on something that spins. that will reflect the
laser beam back to the device to count RPMs.?
Try to put it on something that does not get much oil on it. You
get plenty of tape to replace, but if you get it all oiled up,
you may have to replace it more often.?
I put mine on the spindle part that sticks out behind the chuck
adapter plate, and I have not changed it once in the last 3-4
years.
I am also using another piece of tape on a rotary tumbler that I
use for cleaning reloading brass. Same effect. Has been working
flawlessly for the same amount of time with just one piece of
that magical tape.?
Moral of the story: keep oil or coolant away from it, as much as
possible and mount the tape on a very clean, smooth surface.??

At that price I can't say no- thanks Andrei.

Buy one of these photo tachometers. It will be
more accurate than your calculations, as it measure
actual RPM of the spindle.?
Thanks Bill.? My motor is a craftsman branded
also with the 1/2 ID, but the prior owner
replaced the step pulley with a single 2.5 OD
pulley.? I wanted to dust off the old math book
and using the manual, figure out what speeds I'm
getting.

Careful on the bore diameter. I believe my
original is 1/2 ID to fit the 40s vintage
motor.
