I thought I'd see if any nearby members needs this before posting it on the local sale sites. I have a older U.S. made GE 3/4 hp 120v AC reverseable motor wired to a Dayton drum switch pretty much plu

The Whisper Drive that I bought was basically a chassis built on a heat sink with screw lugs for all of the connections. So the top, and two sides open. I just bent up a perforated sheet metal cover a

Let me clarify my earlier post. I run my lathe on 120v ac feeding a D C KB Whisper drive and into the 1 1/2 hp 90v D C Leeson motor. The 1 1/2 hp motor was a random ebay find. I ran it with a standard

Welcome Michael I can't answer the first few questions as I don't own a 10K. Bur as to the variable speed retrofit. I did this last year on my 10L. There is more than one way to go with this, a vfd, o

I have a Swiss Habasit flat belt that I bought from a local power transmission store. They cut it to my spec and tapered the ends, I glued it in place and no problems for over 20yrs...OH and not a sou

I just got finished re-powering my 1942 Heavy Ten. I went to a Leeson 1hp 90v DC motor and a KB speed controller. I really like the the variable speed and torque compensation feature.

I'd like to have a look at how you did the DRO's on your Heavy Ten. So far I only them on the carriage, and tail stock. Thanks Anthony

As for the flat belt I installed a Swiss habasit belt with beveled glue laps, completely noise free. I did this after first trying leather, and a serp. auto belt. Besides the lack of noise, as it is m

Thanks, for what a stick on label is worth it shows 2hp. Maintaining the low speed torque I have with 3/4hp ac motor now in use would be good. --------------------------------------------

I have no idea exactly how either of the speed controllers that I have function. I do appreciate you taking the time to reply. --------------------------------------------

Both of the speed controls have A C input (A C to D C converters) the OEM Chi/Com controller has a soft start feature, that from what I've seen most folks try to eliminate. ---------------------------

Now that's interesting. If that's correct, the range want to run the motor wouldn't be a problem. --------------------------------------------

My 10L has a home built drive system. Using a 110v A C motor 1725 rpm, low spd =469 rpm........med spd =743 rpm........hi spd = 1223 rpm. Using the back gear it's 130 rpm, 270 rpm, and 377 rpm. I've b

Anyone had any acceptable performance swapping a Chi/Com treadmill motor on a Heavy Ten? I'm wondering how much torque they develop at low speeds.
