Happy Year New..
Ok, i know i will get ridiculed but that’s ok because anyone who invents or create from Barnes Wallace to Mitchel get told the same over and over again..
My issue is..
I’ve built a surface grinder ( That’s adaptable and suffice for MY needs) It’s only used to get smooth surfaces from recycled steel etc. There’s a before and after picture here to show what i mean.. i’ve built it so the grinder can be raised and lowered coarsely and also by micros too ..
Everything is great but i can always see improvement etc .. In time i’d like to get a motor driven linear push pull mechanism so i can do something else rather than stand there sliding the jig backwards and forwards across the horizontal beam..
It’s smooth, accurate and very quiet..
The bench grinder is a great size etc but the negative is it gets bogged down torque wise it could do with being more powerful..
Q… Is there anyway i can increase the torque of the existing motor ( safely) ?
The reason is i really don’t want to have to start making lots of mods to enable fitment of a bigger motor etc..
It’s 150Watt
240 Volt
And no load speed of 3000 rpm..
Jig runs on bearings over a 30 X 30mm steel beam ..
