I’m thinking of a pulley drive from the table saw … (using that motor& belt to run a stack of wire wheels about 8’’ wide total

im looking for a arbor mounted on pillow blocks
I know ive seen these contraptions for sale BUT my old age is catching up to me,

any ideas as where to get these kits that you just put the pulley and business end on ??

i could go to princess auto and make it up there however it would be like building a car by buying all the parts ….
Right now im using a HAND wire brush ….. time consuming…

... well its a 12×12 planer…. of course right there and then she said ok…
I made a slight error its a 12×6 thick , of course I thought this would be awsome to make a little extra cash ….plane some, what 1×12 at the widest??.... NOT the lady pulls up with a traler full of 6×10 4×12 , 8×8 and a couple of real 2×4…. well the shortest one is 12’ long
I now am switching to the 4’’ makita hand plane

its easier t move the plane rather than moving the wood…. the pile of sawdust grows…..
