I recently purchased a Buzz Saw at a Garage Sale for $50.
It is in great shape the type you would power from a tractor with a belt.
My problem is this. It has a 32 inch blade which according to the info I can find on the net it should run aprox 400 Rpm.
I want to power this with a large Honda engine that I already have in the 15 hp range.
Any ideas how to do this and keep the speed down around 400 rpm.
I have a hydraulic pump and hyd. motor that I thought I would use however that seems to be overkill for what I'm trying to do. I thought a belt system would be better. Please don't ask me to post a picture as I have slow dial up and the process for uploading a picture is painful. I hope to post a picture of the finished product at a later date.
Please comment on this project as I would prefer to make it run at a safe speed.
Thx
