Typically, however, the ratios are not used to design a level of torque; they are
used to create a saw with the optimum blade speed (blade Shaft RPM) for you.
The major factors are:
♦
diameter of blade(s) you commonly use, and
♦
cutting conditions you work under
We can also tailor the Blade Shaft RPM (blade speed) by adjusting the “primary”
ratio between the engine and the Blade Shaft. By selecting a Blade Shaft sheave
and Engine sheave, a multitude of additional ratios (and Blade Shaft speeds) are
possible. The following Sheave sets are available as standard kits:
