I have a round column HF Mill 33686 i believe is the part number i is the big green one i am interested in putting a motor from my treadmill on this to power the spindle as i see people out there doing this very thing to what degree of success i din't know as most of these threads do not say. Which brings me o my question(s). After doing this will i be able to machine steel as most of my machining is steel with the occasional alum parts. Also seeing that i have a treadmill to cannibalise can i use the motor and controls and just build a different housing for the controls and electronics or will i have to get a different set of controls to run the motor. Please any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated as i don't want to take apart a good running treadmill if it is not going to work.
