separately

See my other listings for a kit to

your own motor
The horsepower improvement is incredible.
Kinda like replacing the small block with a big block in your Mustang/Camaro muscle car. Just pure power, so much so that you will never use all of it.
This system provides full power at any speed and that includes Spindle RPM's as low as 200 RPM's
Motor and spindle speeds + Reverse:
The motor speed can be
programmed
and or full range can be achieved with just the speed control knob:
Speed control
programming
only requires a few easy steps.
Reverse is simple, just hold the yellow button for a few seconds.
Programming
includes the ability to set bottom and top RPM range separately. In other words you can program the system to run the spindle at any speed or range of speeds you choose (see below).
Slowest speed achievable: Motor 100 RPM = Spindle 60 RPM.
Highest speed this one produced: Motor 3,500 RPM = Spindle just over 2,000 RPM's.
Note: it is not recommended to spin the spindle any faster unless you upgrade the factory installed spindle bearings.
Motor Specifications:
Watt:           750  (
1.0057665666 HP)
Voltage:      110V
HZ:             60
Torque:      10 N.M.
RPM:
100 to 4,500 RPM
in 100 RPM increments.
Note: Manufacturer recommended 500 to 4,000 RPMs
My personal testing results: This motor runs best between 300 and 4,500 RPMs.

Same username The Custom Crafter.
This listing is for a fully alpha tested system like the one seen in the photos.
You will however
receive
prototype 7. This includes the modified control unit with thermal overload protection.
An aluminum shear pin is no longer used or provided as the thermal overload system is proven.
Motor timing gear is now mounted with key way and shaft nut.
System includes:
A new 750 watt motor
like the one seen here in photos above and on you-tube. Motor will come with the motor mount installed and in the estimated location. This will require adjustment to fit your lathe. It will also come with the small timing pulley installed on it using a 4mm key-way and main shaft nut.
A new control computer
like the one seen in the above photos.
This control unit is modified by The Custom Crafter to include:
A. Thermal overload system with reset button. (see photo, make note, color of the reset button may be black or red).
The custom Crafter external rotary speed control switch.
As shown in the primary image. This speed control switch is best positioned with 2 sided adhesive tape. Optionally screw holes can be drilled in the 4 corners without damaging internal electrical components.
The Custom Crafter made in the USA motor mount.
(installed on motor, see line 1). Includes thick washers and grade 8 nuts.

spindle bearing head adapter (see photos).

spindle spacer (see photos).
One aluminum spindle
Synchronous
pulley
re-machined by The Custom Crafter to fit spindle (see photos).
One aluminum motor

pulley
re-machined by the Custom Crafter to fit the motor (see photos).
Comes preinstalled on motor (see line 1).
A new L050 1/2" wide timing belt.
Written assembly instructions
+ programming guide + fault codes. Includes recommended settings.
The Custom Crafter quick program and spindle speed card.
Package will include a text number for direct assistance from the custom Crafter.
Assembly requires some technical skill to include minor machine work.
Note: Check the photos in this listing. See the red lathe. If your lathe has holes instead of the normal slots, this motor will not fit without your ability to slot the cast iron lathe bed. Additionally if you return this item for this reason, you will pay shipping
both
ways.
You will have to cut the die-cast gear housing to allow additional room for the larger timing belt.
(see photos)
this can be done with a hacksaw and a file but a pneumatic cut off tool or die grinder will ease this job.
A spreader wrench is a big help but this can be managed with a hammer and punch.
You will need metric and domestic allen wrenches + a 13mm/1/2" deep socket and ratchet.
Some longer allen head metric allen head bolts (not included) may also be required, especially it you over tighten and strip the factory bolts provided with your machine.
Notes:
This system has so much more power that it becomes tempting to see just how much you can cut in a single pass. Do not do this because the rest of the mini lathe is not built strong/stable enough for this kind of abuse. If you jam it, you may damage the lathe to include broken cutters, parts and the control unit.This is abuse and no refunds will be issued for damage caused by abuse.
All lathes are dangerous, increasing the
horsepower
increases this danger.
