Truing up chuck jaws
On the DC side, I scored a high torque motor - 4 brushes at 90 degrees -
that is 24V. Came out of a small elderly scooter. Some of these are beginning
to come on line in lew of second/third/fourth generation 4 wheeler buggy/chair.

Start looking at Craigslist or Freecycle for a treadmill. Most of
them have a DC motor and controler, but I did find one with a AC motor
and a varible speed pulley.
Look under Free and be patient.
Or look in Ebay for a small VFD and then locally for a small 3 phase
motor. I just got a 56 frame three phase motor for $5 at a garage
sale.
I have been looking for a while at garage sales and local auction. I will
expand to Craigs list (where I follow other things). I saw one tread mill
motor at the auction here but it was about twice the size of the Taig
(2.5HP). I am told scroll saws are another possible source. Typically their
motors are rated for about 160 watts but that should do for the Taig (if Don
runs his off a 75W one).
