This table translates the diameter to be turned for steel and aluminum into the nominal pulley/belt and backgear setting. I printed it out and glued it to a piece of flexible magnetic sheet. It sticks to the door that permits access to my A/B pulley. This table is based on the equation IJ H H
For diameter in inches and SFM is surface feet per minute. The table was taken from a simple spreadsheet that lets me change the SFM if so desired. Ive never had a need.
