Question about pulley ratios for Taig 2019

May 30, 2006 5 Replies

All,



I haven't been able to find any documentation on how to loop the belt over the motor and spindle pulley grooves to achieve a given RPM. I understand that I need to loop over the smallest groove on the motor and the largest groove over the spindle to get 10,000 RPM. Anyone have documentation on what the other speeds are and how to get them.



Thanks in advance,



The Eternal Squire



You mean there's no Taig owner with a manual who can read off the manual? I got my Taig second hand.

Thanks,

Probably not after that comment....but anyway.....all you need is the two pully diameters and the motor rpm.

Proly an rcm-type Q, anyway. But, the speed strategy is opposite to what the OP stated, I think--you want the largest diameter on the motor, and the smallest on the spindle pulley. Also make sure your belt style is appropriate for the pulley sheaves.

I found that I could get a copy of the manual for $12. I was a little afraid that they came only with the original purchase of mill.
