Has anyone an idea of the speed at which a linisher belt should travel? I'm at the 'thinking about' stage of one I'm planning to make and, having now got the motor sorted thanks to rtbcomp on here , want to sort out the pulley size(s) I'll need.
Sadly, the label on the motor [it came from a tumble dryer afaik ] is unreadable in terms of speed [in fact, it's just unreadable ] so I'm stuffed unless I can find a way to work things out. I have a multi-meter which can measure, I think, RPM but don't know how to connect it - maybe it's for car engines only......? I don't have a DRO to measure shaft rotation speed.
Is belt speed critical, or am I over-thinking things [again.... ]
