motor with 1750 rpm with 2 inch puley and mandrel with 2 inch pulley
in this scenario the wheel on the mandrel will be 1750 rpm
same 1750 with 2 inch pulley but 1 inch on mandrel
in this scenario the wheel on mandrel will be 3500 rpm
same size pulleys =same rpm
smaller on motor and bigger on mandrel end =slower rpm on mandrel
bigger on motor and smaller on mandrel end = faster rpm on mandrel
here a link you can use to find exact ratio and also to find the size of belt you need
