Hey there,

Has anyone heard of disconnecting the motor from the sanding part (pivot arm etc) of a Grizzly 1015 in order to run a pulley system to slow things down?

I had a quick Google but nothing came up. I just bought one of these locally and when I downloaded the manual, I realized the sander part is separate from the motor and could bolt down securely on its own. With a couple of pillow blocks and pulleys, I wonder if the stock motor could be adapted to a 3-speed.

Any thoughts?
