Default Re: Help with a bandsaw

Interesting thought with the wood, I happen to have some pieces of 2X8 I may try that.

I was at Home Depot the other day and ceiling fan "dimmers" were only rated at 1.5 amps. I had to look to see how many amps the motor is, and the card said 5. Now in looking at Ryobi's site, it says 2.5.

Either way I'll have to look for something a little more heavier dutier than what HD has.
I found some online that are for controlling multiple ceiling fans rated at 5 amps I think I'll try.

Looking at the schematic for it on Ryobi's site, it's belt drive. Although the motor pulley looks pretty small, I'll have to look at SPDI(?) for a smaller pulley.
