Well, I wired up the gearmotor and controller tonight to try it before
I went any further. You guys were right. Not enough torque, I tried
cutting 1/4" HR flat stock and it came to a stop, would probably cut
1/8", to aggrivated to try. Anyone want to make me an offer on a Leeson
motor with KB controller???
Next, is there an affordable gear reducer out there? I will
need somewhere around 45:1 +or- the wheels are 16" dia. I have a 1.5HP
motor sitting around waiting for a home, could use that.Its 1720 rpm. I
guess I could always use a jackshaft setup to get it down there, with
4-step cone pulleys to give me speeds for steel and alum. etc.... Any
thoughts??? Would e-bay have reducers? I never bought anything off
there before,is it more trouble than its worth?
Any suggestions or help is appreciatted again,
Thank you,
Craig
