How about a pulley calculator such as would be used for a wood lathe =
that uses two sets of pulleys (motor shaft, step pulleys, headstock step =
pulleys). Also add the rotational speed of the edge blank you're =
spinning such as a 10" bowl. The headstock shaft is spinning at XXX rpm =
and the edge of your workpiece is going - how fast you say.....?
Example from a Delta mini lathe with a variable speed motor:
Headstock Pulley - outside diameter - left to right (largest to smallest =
pulley) - readings in inches.=20
Pulley # Diameter=20
1 3.14"
2 2.74"
3 2.35"
4. 1.95"
5 1.575"
6 1.293"
Motor Pulley - left to right (smallest to largest pulley)
1 .83"
2 1.23"
3 1.60"
4 2.00"
5 2.40"
6 2.67"
Formula: (one example)
Motor Pulley Diameter / Headstock Pulley Diameter =3D Speed Ratio
Speed Ratio x Motor Shaft Speed =3D Headstock rpm
Using the low of 1525 rpm and a high of 3515 rpm at the motor shaft, an =
approximate rpm of the headstock shaft can be determined.
Lowest speed calculation: (Controller at minimum setting)
.83 / 3.14 =3D .264 Speed Ratio
.264 x 1525 VS low rpm =3D 403 rpm in theory and actual reading was 425 =
rpm - a 5% difference
Highest speed calculation: (Controller at maximum setting)
2.67 / 1.293 =3D 2.06 Speed Ratio
2.06 x 3515 VS high rpm =3D 7,240 rpm in theory and actual reading was =
6,600 rpm - an 8% difference
