Probably Fleabay 222475499225. I'm going to install a 220 vac 3 phase motor on a similar drill press. I'll have just two belt changes and a 120 vac supply vfd, I don't usually need to know how fast it's running but it will be handy sometimes to have a tach.

Hi obt DIGITEN Tachometers Digital LED RPM Speed Meter+Hall Proximity Switch Sensor NPN ebay sold by s24_shop instructions come with the unit.
also be aware that the magnets have polarity and must be in line to work properly just move the magnet around or flip upside down....:O) comes from Los Angeless fast ship.

L98 ferro Thanks for the input ..:O)

Great idea. Saves a lot of guess work.

Hi Kevic, go ahead and install one and be a friend to me. how about being friends?

Great idea, but I don't see the need for that much precision on my drill press, but it would be nice to put on my little Atlas lathe.

Yea I never use it my self....ha ha but don't tell anyone....Cap.

I'd like to know how the 3p and vfd do on your drill press when you get it done. Ive been considering the same for some time now just haven't got round tuit.

I replaced the AC motor with a DC motor and used a tread mill controller to run the DC motor.
