Hi All, I bought this bench some time back & have decided I need to use it to cut a heap of firewood I have in my paddocks. It has a 26 inch blade. So far,I made the table slide better than it did,plus tinkered a bit with any bits that needed refreshing. I'm trying to ascertain the speed that this thing needs to spin,in order to be at peak working power. My original thought is to have this thing be easily portable,as it will be moved from paddock to paddock & even to a different location. It would be desirable to just back the tractor up & connect a shaft to it.Tractor PTOs usually run at 540 RPM.I already have the adaptor & shaft.(made,but not connected yet) My other option is to utilise an old belt-pulley I have in the shed.This,however adds more weight & complexity to my portable bench.Likewise if I add a petrol engine & belts to it. Do you guys think a direct connection to my tractor PTO is gonna be fast enough to spin the blade properly? Thanks.. Jim
