Bandsaw Speed Question

Hey
my bandsaw has three speeds. There are two pulleys, one top and one at the
motor. What should they be at for re-sawing for bowl blanks. I think I need
some more speed? The gearing now seems to be to slow. Help would be so kind.

ditto:

Highest speed possible, Plus fewest teeth and widest blade that will
give and acceptably clean cut. (Tight radius turns need smaller blades
of course.)

I have talked to the fellow who owns this company about how to set up my
bandsaw.

His advice above. It worked for me.
