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???

Did you turn up the torque limit and install the proper HP resistor
in
the KB controller? Is it a KBIC?

Ned,
I adj. a couple of the "trimpots" with out a lot of diff.
being made. I did not add any resistor, the controll came to me ready
to use, it is a model KBRG-212D Regenarative DC motor control. I
followed the instructions, works nice, just no where near enough
torque. The motor is a Leeson Perm Magnet model # CM34D25NZ10C 40:1
ratio
I know nothing about electronics, especially this type of
thing, maybe Im trying to use the wrong type of stuff all together.
Might just look for a gear reducer, I have a 1.5hp motor sitting around
