I am in the process of installing a 2.25 hp treadmill motor on my Lagun mill. The reason is these Lagun motors are too expensive and to get one rewound is expensive also. I bought a treadmill for 55.00, two pulleys, 90.00, two T nut straps and am putting them together. I have powered 4 of my machines with treadmill motors and controllers and haven't had a problem yet. Here are some pictures. The reason that I am doing it this way is simplicity, I am using the original treadmill mount, don't have to fabricate one, wouldn't know where to put it anyway. I still retain the high and low rpm band of the original mill, variable speed belt drive, and also variable speed of the treadmill motor and it also has reverse. Any comments are welcome, Robert Brown- machining fool
