Hello Everyone, first post
I have an old Delta 12" HD variable speed Wood Lathe. 130vdc PM DC Treadmill motor, 116ZY2-1. KB120 controller.
I know the controller is a little small, I good deal on it.
I haven't installed the DC motor yet. Thought I might bench test it and make changes to the control panel.
The final problem I have is which size V pulley should I use?
Keeping the treadmill flywheel
3" V pulley 220vac motor on the lathe now
38" from spindle center to V pulley center
5" spindle V pulley
I realize this question can get very complicated. Hoping someone worked out the best size to use already.
10" stock is max.
Would there be any advantage to mounting the DC motor closer to the spindle?
