Hi Jon, I am just an occasional user of the lathe, mill and band saw. The motors have all performed excellently. I use the foot pedal on the mill and bandsaw with a 100k POT on the lathe for speed control. Using reverse is a pain with the stock controller, which I am "thinking" of replacing. I just substituted?the pulleys with adapters for the motor shaft. I am "thinking" of mounting the lathe motor directly on the jackshaft with the pulley reversed essentially?eliminating any pulleys as far as speed control goes. I have a Craftsman?12x36 lathe. I highly recommend?the motors especially for the cost/performance. Ralph On Wed, Mar 23, 2022 at 9:38 AM WAM <ajawam2@...> wrote: I have the Consew on multiple machines - my CNC and my Deckel clone: |
