It's an older 1, with the long/wide tailstock, and silver dials. Seems to be in really nice shape, but no motor. I have a couple of small ac motors here I'm thinking I could get by with. I am NOT laying out hundreds more for the motor/speed controller. I'll just make do with what I have for now. Eventually upgrade to "a" dc motor and controller. Nothing against the Sherline unit, just for the money I can get a brutal combination.
Please don't lecture me about buying a new motor from Sherline. My purpose in posting is to see if anyone has fenagled a motor, ac or dc. Taig sells a set of 6 step pulleys that may prove useful.
I have a really small Dayton motor, 5000rpm, that may be underpowered. Also have a 1/20HP Boston Gear motor, 1750 rpm. Very beefy looking. Have another 12vdc motor by Bosch that realistically looks as large as a Sherline motor. Maybe 10,000rpm. As I've said I'm looking to hear from Sherline/Taig/Unimat 3 owners that have substituted non-standard motor setups.
