I have two of them; takes about 15 minutes of roadside surgery with a leatherman or similar tool to yank it and the controller from one on bulky trash day :-)
A lot of people?have used motors salvaged from treadmills.? ?May time people think they are going to get fit and lose weight so they buy a treadmill, then latter find they never use it.? ?So used ones are cheap and easy to find.
The motor is typically bigger then what you need. and you have to design a mount and belt.? Look for a used (maybe even free) treadmill.
I have one and the motor is 4X the weight and size of the motor that came with the lathe, but what the heck, it was free.

Hi group
?
I have a 5200 LMS lathe, and I think the motor is gone.
It need a manual twist ?to run and the motor make a lot of noise.

Sometimes ago the motor make a lot of noise, and I took out the rotor.
The axel under the bearing was very worn, I did something and it has worked ok until today.

A new LMS 4145? 500 Watt Brushless DC motor will cost me 350/400 USD.
So before I order, I ask my group :
is it possible to get a new motor that can replace and fit to my 5200 lathe ?
?
350/400 USD Is nearly 1/3 of a new lathe? :-)
?
If someone have some experience with this motor or similar , you are welcome to give me some advice.
