Great job. I should put treadmill motors on top of my scrap yard shopping list.

Hi Altair, also look on E-bay. there are 2 sizes large and small. then find the controller that fits your application, I have two lathes,
one drill press powered by them love them.

Great mod on that drill press. Did you machine a mount for the new motor?

Hi Altair, see this video on you tube DRILL PRESS DC MOTOR MOD :O)
