 and have converted it to 24 volt DC with a variable speed control. The main reason was that I have real bad Tinnitus and the pitch of the original motor really aggravated it.

Hi guys.
Enjoy this site a great deal and have been picking up tips for a while now. I have a unimat SL 1000/db200 which is quite a neat machine (hate that chuck) and have converted it to 24 volt DC with a variable speed control. The main reason was that I have real bad Tinnitus and the pitch of the original motor really aggravated it. It really was a little screamer. I had new bearing fitted thinking that would take it down a peg but no difference. The 24 volt conversion works well and the motors pretty quiet. I'm playing around with the belt configuration at the moment as I read that using 2 belts has advantages over a single belt from motor to lathe pulley? Anyway, just saying hi and looking forward to meeting you all.....in time of course..
Brad.

conversion is in MK1 form at the moment,working well though looks a little Heath Robinson to be sure, trying to find a post about running the unimat with both belts even though it now has variable speed, seems there is an advantage?
