Folks might enjoy a few pics of one of my current side projects: Converting the table drive to variable speed DC on my Vernon Horizontal Mill.
Repurposing various items to build a drive. Just about everything used is well, used.
Housing - From a 1000W 12V inverter.
Drive - Minarik MM23000C
Forward-Brake-Reverse switch (new) Eaton brand
EMI filter (keeps the radio in the shop interference free) :-)
More pics once it's installed.
Enjoy,
Todd.
