thats a great idea and well done too. Ive got a "millport"step pully mill(clone) it needs to come appart and be gone through, but just no time or room to do it now, it's got a 2 speed motor on it, but Ive never been comfeterble running it in high speed due to some of the noise. it was a refurbished mill when I got it... reefer? bush? the x ways were epoxied due to the wear..... must be the reefer part of the rebuild...well I got it cheep so...it is what it is, works great ,someday I will pull it appart and do it right.(reserfacing the ways on a 49x9 may be a chore at home...) I also plan on the tread mill motor mod on my 9x20 enco lathe ( pure **** as it was delevered,gears off center over .010" runout and oh so noisey,quiet as a mouse now, head stock was way out,and much more.no wonder enco closed down 3 months after I got it. I build most of my tooling so fixing this stuff isant hard, just time and room to do it is the hard part.(shop full of race car). this is one of the best sites for ideas.thanks to all who submit this handy work. keep spiten chips and maken mods Tony, we love it.
