Re: Modified Treadmill Motor
Jeeezuzzzz Mary and Josefff !!
Where was this post 2 months ago - whilst I was banging my dome against the wall for a clue and a solution to the X2 upgrade motor blues!
Ive got a few motors now thru trial and error - Id love some details on your mounting plates and the ability to turn down the shafts ...
PM sent ....

This one is 2.25-2.8 Hp and you can get about 6000-7000 RPMs at around 130vdc. It's designed to fit the mini mill belt drive with a 70mm m6 bolt pattern; but you can attach it to anything. I turned the shaft to 9mm, but if there is any interest for a different size, let me know. The largest size would be 17mm.
I have only one left right now but plan on making some more face plates soon.
