Bought from YouTuber “Getta Grip” who lives in Champlain NY. On March 12th 2020

He posted a video of his conversion using a treadmill motor to run the saw back in July 20, 2012 called “Treadmill Motor to run Wood Bandsaw Conversion”

I made my first cuts on May 3, 2021 cutting trough a piece of 7/8” cold rolled barstock.

I used the pulley calculator to determine the correct pulley sizes and combination of pullies to gain the correct RPMs at the final driven pulley https://www.blocklayer.com/pulley-belteng.aspx

I used the bandsaw FPM calculator to determine the correct FPM at each of the RPMs of the final driven Pulley https://www.blocklayer.com/band-saw.aspx
