Power feed for mini lathe and mini mill

[dgbreggin]

UPDATE

I purchased one of the motors recommended and built a handle for it.

The new motor / handle weighs about 50% more than my earlier ones. This is the only down side, and it is quite minor.

The power available at lower speed is much better than the previous motors. I may still use one of my existing low speed motors when I need really slow movement, which is rare, but for everything else I can now use a single unit.

This is a big improvement. My thanks to Don42 for his insight and assistance.

Here are some pictures.





There is a motor mounting bracket available, but it did not suit my installation very well so I just made my own. As I suggested in my first post, I did not make the handle angle adjustable this time.
