well, ~DC DRIVE (optional)
(1.5 HP, 220 volt 1 phase)
DC motors can rotate a workpiece at very low RPM's, but the spindle torque will be very low compared to running the motor faster. Consequently we utilize a compound belt reduction, in combination with the DC motor/controller, to provide very high torque at very low speeds. 5/8", "B" section Vee Belts are used for very effective power transmission.
The DC motor controller (mounted on the pendant) features a rotary speed control dial, spindle reversing switch and motor brake. Speed range is from 0 to 425 in the low range and 0 to 2520 in the high range. LATHE SPINDLE
The spindle is 1-1/4" diameter, supported by three (3) sealed for life ball bearings. Thread size is 1-1/4"-8 tpi.
