Hi Gary the belt speed should be around 2950 surface feet per minute that I calculated on the motor speed of 2825 rpm and the drive wheel diameter of 4”

Here is a quick vid to show the speed it is doing:

looks good, I have a few knife blanks I got 6 years ago for my retirement, been retired 5 years and have not done a thing better built a belt sander just like yours I think.
Cheers
