Treadmill motor adaptation for Bridgeport type mill.

OK, today I identified the components and removed them from the treadmill, took some closeups so that I know where the wiring connects. I bought two pulleys, cost about 90 at Miller bearings, they had me pick them up at the Martin gears warehouse and while I was there the boss asked me what I was doing and I told him and then I asked since the motor shafts did not have key ways he suggested that he have his machinist put another machine screw 90 degrees from the original in both pulleys for more stability and I was happy about that. He didn't even charge me, I thought that was very nice of him. Included in the following pics. are the components. I am running about a two to one ratio. I will explain later. I am going to have to cut out the original mounting bracket to use to mount the treadmill motor tomorrow. The shafts on the motors were real odd sizes, so tomorrow I will have to bore them out to fit the shafts, might have to pull out my 4 jaw chuck for accuracy. The real challenge is how to affix the motor mount on the original motor, but I will figure that out, I already have some ideas. In posting this project, I hope it is okay to post in bits and pieces along the way of the project so that I don't miss any information. Here are the pics. Also if you have any question, please feel free to ask. Robert Brown AKA machiningfool[/ATTACH]
