Two questions in one night! I have a crappy 1hp (yeah, right!) 14" bandsaw, and I have a replacement motor. The only issue is the motor (a 1.5 horse out of a delta contractor saw) runs at 3450 and the bandsaw motor runs at
1725. Can I just decrease the size of the motor pulley to get a safe speed? I think the motor pulley is about a 3" or so. Is this safe to do?- posted
