3631 forum posts 160 photos | If you google metal working linisher belt speed a 3M pdf pops up. They mention 20 - 25 m / SEC. If I have done my sums right that's about 72 ft / sec or 4,350 sfm so a 4" roller would need to run at circa 4,200 rpm. I'd guess that would need 1hp maybe more. I've seen web comments by people using older machine that reckon 2,000 sfm is ok. I'm sure the one I used wasn't going 4,000 sfm or anything like that fast. 2,000 sfm maybe. There is some one using a metal working type about 11min into Dave Hammer's you tube video on making a propane torch.
