I have a 12 speed bench drill press with the 3 pulleys and because of my laziness in having to change both belts over every time to different pulleys for different speeds, I was wondering how it would go if I just bought a longer V-belt and only use 2 pulleys. I realise this would mean I would only have 4 speeds instead of 12, but I'm sure I could live with that. I have found a pulley / RPM calculator so I can figure out what speeds I would end up with at ..... http://www.blocklayer.com/pulley-belteng.aspx
Here are a couple of pics of the machine in question ..............
