    Very low cost way of measuring tool speed.

    After switching my lathe to a variable speed DC motor I didn't know it’s speed range so rather than buying a digital tachometer for a one off measurement I used some old tech… a homemade strobe tachometer. Turntables had a series of lines around the platter so that with a strobe you could set...

    Use of Foot Control to Vary Speed

    I have a Foredom grinder ..like the ones used to carve with. It has a foot pedal to vary the speed.. It could be unplugged and hooked to other tools easily. .I was wondering could this be used to vary the speed on a lathe with a 120 volt motor on it ? Would it mess up the motor in any way? Thanks

    In need of a used Shopsmith Speed Reducer

    I'm looking for a used shopsmith speed reducer for a mark V. I am in the middle of a project that I need to turn a large block and need to get the speed as low as possible for safety and ease. By speed reducer I am referring to the attachment that reduces the shopsmith's rpm by a factor of...

    ShopSmith Owners: Anyone have the speed reducer?

    I was wondering if any ShopSmith owners here have the speed reducer? I attempted to turn a huge piece of wood a couple months ago, and it was definitely too out of balance for the lowest speed. It's a bit pricey for me with my current level of interest in turning, but wanted to get some...

    Variable speed belt sander?

    Has anyone ever used a variable speed router control on a belt sander? I need to sand a butcher block down and am wanting to slow the sander down a little for better control. Will it work or will it fry the sander?

    power carving - foot pedal versus dial for speed control

    I have a cheap import Foredom knock off hanging motor rotary carver. The foot pedal was basically junk, bet I reshaped the sheet metal so it wouldn't keep coming apart and I insulated it because it was delivering a minor shock at times (yeah, I know you get what you pay for). What makes that...

    Fan at half speed - electrical conundrum

    I'm puzzled, hoping someone can explain this. I've been gradually finishing a bonus room for a year or so. Late last year I installed recessed lighting and a ceiling fan. I'd previously run a 20A circuit to the room for a microwave, but ended up using it for the ceiling when my plan for the room...

    Back gear for motor speed reduction....

    I recently learned the term "back gears". These are gears used in a lathe to allow for a second mandrel to be installed between the motor and the main shaft. It lets you have more speed setting options. As I understand it. So, the question I have, does anyone know if there is a proper...

    tool blade speed

    Can someone explain to me the science (assuming there is some) behind this? I just replaced a 3450 RPM motor on my little TS with a 1725 and getting a larger sheave is on my todo list.
