Speed: Honestly forgot the speed of wheel would have to go figure it out again. But what I do know I started with a 1725 speed motor and speeder up just a little. I'm think right around 2000 RPM's
balance: After building it checked for balance and it was so good I left it as is.
How the...
Most of it was built without to many set backs But the 3 things I started over on or redone was the Sheet Metal guard for the 6 x 48 belt, The arm that allows the 6 x 48 table to tilt, And the last one was the motor mount slide. Saying all that there would be even a few more changes if I did it...
I built automatic food machine and Roller coaster. I was pretty much born around a Machine shop. (Dads) I just started drawing a design one day and ran from there. Never drawled a printed kind of built on the fly.
