So the power feed motor on my Bridgeport I recently acquired was burnt out and the control board looked very suss too so I decided so re-engineering is required
Its marked as a 8f but some internals are the same as a 6f but the main thing is the clutch trips and its seams to have little wear
So the plan is to fitted a 12 or 24v motor with a DC speed control driven from a standard power supply . Not expensive from Amazon or the like
to that end I cut the motor off and left a fair chunk of shaft to attach a new motor
So 1 revolution moves the table 0.2mm by my calculations at a maximum feed rate of 850mm/m equals about 4000rpm does that sound right?
First thing is to find a suitable motor im thinking perhaps a scooter motor might do the job
