kmg speeds

[Frontier Forge]

Can some one direct me to a source for pulley, motor, grinder speeds.
pulley sizes. I have a kmg with a 4" drive wheel and a 1750 rpm motor. I thought KMG's site had that info but I was wrong...

Simple mathematics are RPM X (Wheel diameter in inches X 3.14) divided by 12= belt speed in feet per minute

In other words 1750 X (4 X 3)/12 =1750 ft per minute (approx)

Raise the wheel diameter to 6" 1750 X 1,5= 2500 fpm approx

Raise wheel diameter to 8" 1750 X 2=3500 fpm approx
