The pully size / motor rpm / wheel size listed above work really well for me as to actual rpm I never figured it out, i'm more of a "throw it together and see what happens" kind of guy.
The tires probably have a natural crown on them. (higher spot in the center). The blade will tend to ride up toward the top fo the crown and self center itself. This is no different than the crown on the "wheels" of a belt sander.
You can't, I angle the center of the tires out forward so that the blade wants to move backwards all the time, the rearward motion of the blade is kept in check by the guides, the roller bearing guides and a couple of brass guides on top.

Standard rpms on elec motorsare either 1725 or 3450 RPM , pully size for 1725 is 3 inch and 6 inch for 3450. Tire size is standard 14 inch high pressure tire, shaft size is dependant on motor an pullys these are 1 inch.

That's exactly what I've been trying to find out. I never knew how the blade would stay on.
