08:23 AM Tom_L: shoulda been quicker
06:38 PM rue_mohr: ok
06:38 PM rue_mohr: got the connectors on the bandsaw spedometer
06:39 PM rue_mohr: says the current speed is about 2850 fpm
06:39 PM rue_mohr: sounds like I want between 100 and 1000 for steel - aluminum
06:39 PM rue_mohr: hope it goes that low
07:06 PM Tom_L: how can you verify the accuracy of the speedometer?
07:11 PM Tom_L: pulleys will let it go as slow as you want

07:22 PM Tom_L: maybe better
07:27 PM Tom_L: maybe not, those all seem to be for carbide
07:28 PM Tom_L: ahh they have a bimetal chart on 22 as well as the carbide one above it
10:11 PM rue_shop1: only by the math
10:12 PM rue_shop1: caught a chart a bit ago form sarette
10:12 PM rue_shop1: basically about 100-200 for steel, 1000 or so for aluminum
10:12 PM rue_shop1: and its running slightly under 3000
10:13 PM rue_shop1: its got a good combo of speeds with the two pulley stages
10:13 PM rue_shop1: no charts for them
10:13 PM rue_shop1: but it would be nice to know what its at without having to know how the pullies are set up
10:15 PM rue_shop1: got the cast disc on the disc sander
10:15 PM rue_shop1: :) and a power switch
10:15 PM rue_shop1: nice to have it balanced, and a power switch on it
