Got my mill all set up.

The motor is and old sears, roebuck and Co. 1/2 horsepower.
Heres the PDF if you are really interested. http://vintagemachinery.org/pubs/222/3331.pdf
Motor spins at 1750 RPM.
I reduced that speed by a 1 1/2" pulley on the motor to a 4 1/2" pulley on intermediary shaft (side a).
The other side of the intermediary shaft (side b) has a 1 1/2 " pulley to a 4" pulley on the mill.
Thats approximately 8:1 reduction so the mill spins at about 215 RPM.
I got the pulleys and belts from Grainger.com.

The intermediary shaft is actually salvaged from a old table saw. Its the shaft where the blade would attach and the hand crank thing you see the would raise and lower the blade.
I got the motor, table, and pieces of the table saw at a local store that resells used building materials and tools and puts the money towards charities.
I also have some videos of it working but couldn’t figure out how to upload them.
Hope you like my project.
