Im looking at a coote grinder and Ive noticed that he recommends a 1750 rpm motor for the 8" and 10" contact wheel models..I have a nice 3400 rpm craftsman motor with built in switch and overheat protection already..Problem is, its a 3400 rpm..Correct me If Im wrong but couldent I use a 2" pulley on the motor and a 5" pulley on the grinder to reduce my speed to the proper range? Or possibly use a step pulley on the motor (My motor is also mounted on a base that lets it travel side to side) that goes down to say 1.5" for a little more reduction if needed?
