Machine Pulley

I recently broke a motor pully on my old table saw and had to replace it with one a half inch larger. Pullys on the saw were 2.5 in. Now the motor pully is 3.in. It certainly spins a lot faster, will it impair cutting performance?  Safety? Motor is 1 hp ,3450rpm, blade is 9inch.

When replacing worn or broken pulleys on woodworking machinery it's important to use a replacement pulley that matches the original. For your personal safety you should never exceed the manufacturer's recommended RPM for a sawblade, router bit, shaper cutter or other cutting tool.
