Mark - I think I can make this work. The goal will be to reduce the speed
of the mill to ~200 RPM and I can't go any bigger than a 10" pulley on the
mill due to space restrictions within my setup. Do you know the direction
the shaft rotates, cw or ccw? I need it to be clockwise (again due to the
way my setup is configured) and if it's ccw, can it easily be reversed?
Thanks again for taking the time. If this is a go, should we arrange to
meet at Maker Space or ?? Ken.
