Right it's almost finished, I am adding some photos and will post some more if anyone wants them please let me know. I have made some covers for the chains and belt, everything seems to be working good so I will try it for a while and see if it needs any adjustments, the steel bar I used for the...

I have been working on this as much as I can and have changed the pulleys to sprockets and chain, and with the motor I mentioned earlier http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ELECTRIC-MOTO ... 023541276t ( I got a 0.5 HP for about £8 more) and it seem to work fine, I have also used sprockets and chain for...

Thank's Col you have been a great help, sorry to hear about your health problem, but it will soon be spring again, you have a great and very understanding wife. Pat

Thank's Col I might as well get that 24v power supply as it is so cheap, I doubt if it will do what want but I will use it for something else, an electrician friend has sent me this link as he has been looking for a motor for me http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ELECTRIC-MOTO ... B#viTabs_0 what...

Thank's Col Great work on the router lathe and the video's, have you got your workshop in your living room, I will try and upload some photos later today, what are you using to get 24v supply and what is the 30% duty cycle, I am using a 12v battery charger, the prices of variable speed motors...

I tried that and it did not work either, and yet there are people selling these speed controllers which do not work, or am I missing something, so I emailed Haydock converters who supplied a new 2hp motor for my lathe with a speed genie a few years ago, which works great, a bit expensive but it...

I have wired up the motor and battery charger for a trial run and unfortunately the motor has nowhere near enough torque to cope with the 2 feed rollers alone, without feeding any wood, so it will have to be an AC motor, as I said before I have a spare motor on an old Ferm scrool saw which is...

Thank's for that information Sploo I have just got the motor ( it works great thank's Colin) and have to do some trial runs yet, I should get the speed controller today, getting a v pulley for this motor is not so easy as it's a 8mm shaft and I am having trouble getting one online, I can get 3D...

Thank's again Col I don't think the loss of speed will be a problem as long as there is enough torque, I may even have to reduce the speed further with a pulley, I need to find a 8mm pulley to fit that motor first and then do a trial run using the speed controller, I am using 19mm steel round...

Thank's Col I will forget about AC for now and go with the battery charger, I was thinking of this http://www.screwfix.com/p/ring-rcb206-6 ... -12v/69046 is that good enough, and I will order the motor and speed controller today, what do you think, Pat

Thank's Col you have been a great help, the router lathe/ milling machine looks very impressive, I have had a look at battery chargers and they are quite cheap £25-£30 I dont know if 12v is enough or not , it would have to be trial and error, I also had a look at AC motors but don't know if...

Thank's Col as I said in my earlier post I know very little about motors, this looks great but it's 6-24v DC where do I get the power to run it, do I use a transformer, or is it run off a battery, maybe the speed controller that I just got would do with this motor, what do you use your's for...

I have tried that speed controller that you said Wildman and it does not work on the 90w motor it slows down a little and then the motor cuts off, I don't think it will be any good for slowing down your bandsaw, it is more like a dimmer switch, I have been Googling and think what I need is a...

I just found a motor on an old scroll saw, it is 90watt I think, just wondering would that do for the feed rollers, or would I need more power

Thank's Wildman, that looks great, I know very little about motors and speed controllers, could you give me some idea of which motor to go with that controller

That is a good idea about using a stepper motor I will look into that, I have an X Carve CNC machine so know what the motors are like, but the problem with variable speed is still there, reducing the speed with pulleys is ok but still not as good as variable speed, which is what I would really like

I have been looking on youtube for ideas and think using this guy's plan might be the best way, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggyOKU02SdM and use spring loaded rollers covered with rubber maybe wood covered with a bicycle wheel tube or something similar, as for the motor to drive this I...

I made a drum sander/thicknesser about 3-4 years ago very similar to this http://woodgears.ca/sander/plans/index.html and it has worked great, I use it for thicknessing the rings for segmented bowls and the only problem is pushing the stock through by hand on a tray, it is a bit tedious after...

Axminster, AW10BSB2, good saw, not good for dust extraction, but then again which tablesaw is

Hi, I have an Incra Mast-R-Lift 11 for my router table which is great and I am very happy with it, I have fitted a Draper expert router motor about a year ago and find it so noisy that I want to change it and it is also under powered at 1300w, I have a cast iron top which I got from Axminster a...
